Abstract
  Ethylene-propylene copolymerization reactions were carried out using rac-Et(2-MeInd)2ZrMe2 catalyst and (2,6-tBu2PhO-)AliBu2 as activator under varying reaction conditions. We demonstrate that reaction conditions such as monomer concentration, Al/Zr molar ratio and solvent type (toluene and heptane) ...  Read More

Abstract
  Cyclic olefin copolymer is a type of high-performance polyolefin material, which is prepared by using a single-site catalyst in solution polymerization. The common activator of this system is alkyl aluminoxane or organic  boron/aluminum system. Among them, organic boron is mostly triphenylcarbenium ...  Read More

Abstract
  Herein a quenched-flow kinetic technique was applied to calculate the rate constants of 1-hexene and 1-octene oligomerization catalyzed by the Cp2ZrCl2 and Cp2HfCl2/MAO catalyst systems, and subsequently a mechanism for the higher α-olefin oligomerization reaction was proposed. The oligomerization ...  Read More

Abstract
  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 ...  Read More
