The effect of different catalyst support treatments in the 1-hexene/ethylene copolymerization with supported metallocene catalysts was investigated through the analysis of molecular weight and chemical composition distributions by means of high temperature gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and cry

✦ Synopsis
A series of ethylene copolymerizations with 1-hexene or 1-hexadecene over four different siloxy-substituted ansa-metallocene/methylaluminoxane (MAO) catalyst systems was studied. High copolymerization activities and comonomer responses were observed in all cases and high molecular weight ethylene copolymers were obtained. Unsaturations resulting from vinyl and vinylidene double bonds were observed in the produced copolymers. It can be concluded that the position of the siloxy substituent has a large influence on polymerization activity and that the replacement of the tert-butyldimethylsiloxy groups with triisopropylsiloxy groups increases copolymerization ability of the catalysts.

## Abstract Ethylene/1‐hexene copolymerization was carried out with polystyrene‐supported metallocene catalyst. It was found that the kinetic of the copolymerization was strongly influenced by the steric hindrance of carrier. The influences of 1‐hexene concentration in the feed on catalyst producti

MgCl 2 /THF/TiCl 4 (TT-0) were thermally pretreated at 80ЊC for 5 min (TT-1) and 60 min (TT-2), and at 108ЊC for 5 min (TT-3) and 60 min (TT-4). These thermally pretreated catalysts showed comonomer enhancement effects in the ethylene-1-hexene copolymerization, while TT-0 catalyst did not. Comonomer
MgCl 2 for use as a catalyst support was prepared by dissolution in methanol and recrystallization in n-decane, followed by vacuum-drying at 2,000 rpm. The prepared support was modified by treatment with alkylaluminum compounds. The activity profile of ethylene over the supported catalysts persisted
