[ 1 ] - Addition of a second alcohol in magnesium ethoxide synthesis as a way to vary the pore architecture of Ziegler-Natta catalysts

In Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization, the pore architecture of catalysts plays a crucial role in catalytic performances and polymer properties. While the type of preparation routes (such as chemical reaction and solution precipitation) greatly affects the catalyst pore architecture as a result of different solidification mechanisms, the modification of the pore architecture within a given rou...
