✦ Synopsis
The short-period polymerization method was successfully applied to the synthesis of a novel diblock copolymer, polypropene-block-poly(ethy1ene-co-propene). The polymerization was carried out for ca. 0,l s with a MgC1,-supported Ziegler catalyst. The copolymers obtained showed unimodal curves in gel-permeation chromatography without any peak in the low-molecular-weight region. After extraction with heptane, the fraction of poly(ethy1ene-co-propene) remained unchanged in the copolymer but disappeared in a commercial so-called block-type copolymer. All the results suggest the formation of polypropene-block-poly(ethy1ene-co-propene), in which poly(ethy1ene-co-propene) is chemically linked with polypropene.
