✦ Synopsis

Using BF 3 as probe, the surface of SiO 2 was probed. The effects of the roast temperature on the SiO 2 surface were investigated and a possible mechanism is suggested. Using SiO 2 as starting material for supports, new supported catalysts for copolymerization of ethylene and propylene were prepared and their possible structures are discussed. It was found that higher polymerization productivity, for instance, 480 kg P/mol Ti h, can be obtained by using a SiO 2 /Al 2 Et 3 Cl 3 /TiCl 4 catalytic system and addition of PhMgCl to this catalytic system can significantly increase polymerization activity.
