โฆ Synopsis
The kinetics of I-octene polymerization by the catalyst systems VO(acac),-AlEt, (I) and VO(acac),-AlEt,Br (II) was investigated. A linear dependence of the rate of polymerization on the monomer and catalyst concentrations as well as the overall activation energy of 44.5 kJ/mol for both the catalyst systems was found. The dependence of the rate of polymerization on aluminium alkyl concentration is explained by Langmuir-Hinshelwood adsorption of the monomer and the aluminium alkyl. Characterization of the structure of the polymer by r3C-NMR spectra revealed the isotactic content. The mechanism of polymerization is discussed in relation to the kinetic data obtained.
