Abstract:

Three polypropylene samples (1-3) were synthesized with a 4th generation Ziegler-Natta catalyst in the presence of cyclohexyldimethoxymethylsilane (donor c), dicyclopenthyldimethoxysilane (donor d) and diisopropyldimethoxysilane (donor p), respectively, as external electron donors. The physical properties of the synthesized polypropylenes were determined. For samples 1 to 3, Successive self-nucleation and annealing (SSA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses indicated that the relative content of the fraction with high isotacticity and regularity in conformational structure decreased in contrast with the fraction of low isotacticity and low uniformity in stereo-defect distribution from sample 1 to 3. The results demonstrated that the longer the isotactic sequence length and the less uniform the stereo-defect distribution, the greater the conformational order. Deconvolution of the molecular weight distribution curves indicated that the stability of the active centers increased from samples 1 to 3, but the participation of stereo-specefic active centers in the polymerization decreased. DMA tests showed that samples 3 and 1 had the highest damping ability and storage modulus, respectively.

Ziegler-Natta catalysts for propylene polymerization – Interaction of an external donor with the catalyst

The interaction of the external donor (propyltrimethoxysilane - PTMS) with titanium-magnesium catalysts (TMCs) containing dibutylphthalate (DBP) as internal donor, which were prepared in different ways, was studied by chemical analysis and infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The chemical composition of the catalysts after their interaction with heptane solutions of PTMS, PTMS/Al...

Study of Ziegler-Natta/(2-PhInd)2ZrCl2 hybrid catalysts performance in slurry propylene polymerization

Several types of hybrid catalysts are made through mixing of 4th generation Ziegler-Natta (ZN) and (2-PhInd)2ZrCl2  metallocene catalysts using triethylaluminum (TEA) as coupling agent. Response surface methodology (RSM) is used to evaluate the interactive effects of different parameters including amounts of metallocene and TEA and temperature on metallocene loading. Analyzing the amounts of Al...
