Abstract

Ethylene‐propene copolymers (EPR) were synthesized at different feed compositions using a highly active and isospecific MgCl~2~‐supported Ti‐based catalyst. The thermal behavior of EPR was studied by differential scanning calorimetry, the heterogeneity by fractionation, and the chain structure by ^13^C NMR using the method of substituent chemical shift. The results show that EPR of very low crystallinity (1,0 wt.‐%) can be obtained at high propene content in the feed with a heptane‐insoluble fraction of only 0,9 wt.‐%. Thus, a high isotacticity in propylene sequences and a high randomness in EPR can be achieved at the same time, and producing high‐impact poly(propylene) in a reactor is possible with this catalyst. Sequence distribution and length distribution of ethylene sequences indicate that EPR is produced at multiple active sites, and each site is dominated not only by a first‐order Markovian model but also by unsteady diffusion factors.

13C NMR inversion-recovery cross-polarization experiments are used to study the phase structure and partitioning of main and side-chain groups in a homogeneous, metallocene-based, ethylene-1-octene copolymer. The results provide strong evidence for a three-phase model, i.e. a rigid, (imperfect) crys
