✦ Synopsis
The polymerization of propylene using a mixture of racemic metallocenes and Ziegler-Natta catalysts was investigated. The polypropylene was obtained as a mixture of a fine powder and beads, with the powder being absorbed partially on the beads. The relative amount of the powder can be controlled by the concentration of the metallocene. The compatibility between the components of the mixed catalytic systems and the effect of the components on the rate of polymerization and on the properties of the new polymers were studied. The metallocene system dramatically affects the melt viscosity, isotacticity and molecular weight of the polymers. The two catalytic systems are able to act jointly, producing different polymers, for which separate melting and crystallization temperatures are obtained.

Propylene polymerization was investigated with a sequential addition of Ziegler-Natta and metallocene catalysts. From the fact that the molecular weights of polypropylene (PP) produced with Ziegler-Natta and with metallocene catalysts differ, it was possible to control the molecular weight distribut
This paper discusses the copolymerization reaction of propylene and pmethylstyrene (p-MS) via four of the best-known isospecific catalysts, including two homogeneous metallocene catalysts, namely, {SiMe 2 [2-Me-4-Ph(Ind)] 2 }ZrCl 2 and Et(Ind) 2 ZrCl 2 , and two heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts
Grignard reagent PhMgCl was added during the preparation of the catalyst system MgCl 2 /di-n-butyl phthalate (DNBP)/TiCl 4 {AlEt 3 /diphenyl dimethoxyl silane (DPDMS) to improve its performance. It was found that PhMgCl could enhance both the activity of the catalyst and the isotacticity of the prod
