Electron Microscopy of Cr/Silica Catalyst for Ethylene Polymerization

Diamido Complexes of Titanium and Zirconium as Catalyst Precursors for Ethylene Polymerization

A series of 8 new complexes of titanium and zirconium with diamido ligands bearing an ethylene and propylene bridge between the two amido groups were synthesized and tested for ethylene polymerization. Titanium complexes bearing an ethylene bridge between the two amido groups showed higher activities than the derivatives with a propylene bridge. In the case of the zirconium complexes, the p...

Determination of kinetic parameters for ethylene polymerization (with and without hydrogen) by Ziegler-Natta catalyst.

In this study, slurry polymerization kinetics of ethylene with TiCl4/Mg(OEt)2/AlR3 Ziegler-Natta catalysts in various conditions using the model of sum square error (SSE) (method I) and model of least square error (LSE) (Method II) was investigated. For this purpose the molecular weight distributions of the samples were deconvoluted to the minimum number of Flor...

Intelligent catalysts for ethylene oligomerization and polymerization

EEthylene polymerization catalysts became available in an enormous variety. The challenge in this research is to find catalysts that are able to connect ethylene molecules in such a way that not only linear chains are produced but variations like branched materials that possess very interesting mechanical properties like linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). In this contribution, three diffe...

Synthesis of neutral nickel catalysts for ethylene polymerization--the influence of ligand size on catalyst stability.

A facile synthesis of nickel salicylaldimine complexes with labile dissociating ligands is described. In addition to producing highly active ethylene polymerization catalysts, important insights into the effect of ligand size on catalyst stability and information on the mechanism of polymerization are provided.
