Propylene-ethylene copolymers by one-monomer metallocene catalyzed polymerization
Propylene polymerization with Ind(2)Zr(OFl)Cl, where Ind = indenyl and OFl = deprotonized moiety of fenchyl alcohol (1,3,3-trimethyl bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol) was investigated. The catalyst is capable to polymerize the monomer producing elastomeric propylene-ethylene copolymers containing blocks of ethylene units and atactic propylene sequences. The amount of ethylene units is controlled by the reaction conditions and up to 35.4 mol% ethylene could be obtained. The copolymers with high ethylene sequences content crystallizes resulting in melting transitions in the range of 120degreesC. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
