bis(2-r-ind)zrcl2 (r: h or phenyl) was supported on different types of silica by in situ impregnation method and used for ethylene polymerization. in this method, the step of catalyst loading on support was eliminated and common alkyl aluminum (triisobutylaluminum, tiba) cocatalyst was used instead of expensive methyl aluminiumoxane (mao) cocatalyst in the polymerization. the effect of surface ...

We report on the protein-resistant properties of glass substrates coated with novel copolymers of 2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (AEM-PEG). In comparison to currently available protein-blocking polymer systems, such as poly-l-lysine-poly(ethylene glycol), silane-based poly(ethylene glycol), and poly(ethylene glycol) brushes prepared b...

We synthesized polyethylene (PE), poly(ethylene-co-1-decene), poly(ethyleneco-p-methylstyrene) and poly(ethylene-ter-1-decene-ter-p-methystyrene) using a rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2 metallocene catalyst and a methylaluminoxane cocatalyst system. The materials were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. We compared and studied the kinetics,...

Pd complexes with diimine ligands promoted the controlled cyclopolymerization of 1,6-dienes and 1,6,11-trienes to afford polymers containing 1,2-trans-cyclopentane groups with well-regulated stereochemistry. The polymerization proceeded with quantitative cyclization of the monomer, even under bulk conditions or in copolymerization reactions with ethylene and aolefins. The polymerization of mono...

High throughput screening (HTS) of a 205 member Schiff base salicylaldimine ligand library derived from salicylaldehydes bearing bulky ortho-substituents, i.e., 9-anthracenyl, 1,4,5,8-tetramethylanthracenyl or triptycenyl, reacted in-situ with (p-tolyl)CrCl2(thf)3, identified two new classes of highly active chromium based systems for the oligomerization and polymerization of ethylene, respecti...
