β¦ Synopsis
The main focus of this study is the ethylene/hexene copolymerization with the silica supported metallocene SiO 2 /MAO/rac-Me 2 Si[2-Me-4-Ph-Ind] 2 ZrCl 2 . Polymerizations were carried out in toluene at a reaction temperature of 40 8C-608C and the cocatalyst used was triisobutylaluminium (TIBA). The kinetics of the copolymerization reactions (reactivity ratios r E/H , monomer consumption during reaction) were investigated and molecular weights M w , molecular weight distributions MWD and melting points T m were determined. A schematic model for the blend formation observed was developed that based on a filtration effect of monomers by the copolymer shell around the catalyst pellet.

It is demonstrated that the catalyst system bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)-zirconium dichloride (Me 5 Cp) 2 ZrCl 2 -methylaluminoxane (MAO) is able to produce random copolymers of ethene and 1-hexene. The 1-hexene incorporation in the copolymers is extremely small. Even in the case of a molar rati
