Ethylene polymerization with FI complexes having novel phenoxy‐imine ligands: Effect of metal type and complex immobilization

2011

A series of bis(phenoxy‐imine) vanadium and zirconium complexes with different types of R3 substituents at the nitrogen atom, where R3 = phenyl, naphthyl, or anthryl, was synthesized and investigated in ethylene polymerization. Moreover, the catalytic performance was verified for three supported catalysts, which had been obtained by immobilization of bis[N‐(salicylidene)‐1‐naphthylaminato]M(IV) dichloride complexes (M = V, Zr, or Ti) on the magnesium carrier MgCl2(THF)2/Et2AlCl. Catalytic performance of both supported and homogeneous catalysts was verified in conjunction with methylaluminoxane (MAO) or with alkylaluminium compounds (EtnAlCl3−n, n = 1–3). The activity of FI vanadium and zirc…

Rheological Properties of Different Film Blowing Polyethylene Samples Under Shear and Elongational Flow

2005

Summary: The rheological behavior of polyethylenes ismainly dominated by the molecular weight, the molecularweight distribution and by the type, the amount and thedistribution of the chain branches. In this work a linearmetallocenecatalyzedpolyethylene(m-PE),abranchedme-tallocene catalyzed polyethylene (m-bPE), a conventionallinear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and a low densitypolyethylene (LDPE) have been investigated in order tocompare their rheological behavior in shear and in elonga-tional flow. The four samples have similar melt flow indexand in particular a value typical of film blowing grade.The melt viscosity has been studied both in shear and inisothermal and non-isothermal elonga…

Synteza bimetalicznego silseskwioksanowego kompleksu tytanu(IV) i jego polimerycznego odpowiednika oraz ich właściwości katalityczne w polimeryzacji …

2016

Zsyntetyzowano, a następnie scharakteryzowano dwa tytanosilseskwioksany: nowy, nieznany dotąd z literatury, tetrachloroditytanosilseskwioksan (2) i jego polimeryczny odpowiednik (3). Zbadano właściwości katalityczne otrzymanych związków w polimeryzacji etylenu i 1-oktenu. Obydwa prekatalizatory, po aktywacji za pomocą Et2AlCl lub EtAlCl2, katalizują polimeryzację etylenu do polietylenu (PE) o małej masie molowej, która zmniejsza się zarówno ze wzrostem temperatury reakcji, jak i stosunku molowego Al:Ti. Kompleks (2) w połączeniu z metyloaluminoksanem lub związkami boru jest także aktywny w polimeryzacji 1-oktenu.

Ethylenebis(5‐chlorosalicylideneiminato)vanadium dichloride immobilized on MgCl2‐based supports as a highly effective precursor for ethylene polymeri…

2009

Ethylenebis(5‐chlorosalicylideneiminato)vanadium dichloride supported on MgCl2(THF)2 or on the same carrier modified by EtnAlCl3−n, where n = 1–3, was used in ethylene polymerization in the presence of MAO or a common alkylaluminium compounds as a cocatalyst. The support type alter vanadium loading and also change the characteristic of the catalytic active sites. Et2AlCl is the best activator for a catalyst which has been immobilized on a nonmodified support, whereas the systems which contain a carrier which has been modified by an organoaluminium compound reveal the highest activity in conjunction with MAO. That difference, together with different temperature effects on polymerization effi…

Dichlorovanadium (IV) complexes with salen‐type ligands for ethylene polymerization

2008

Vanadium complexes with tetradentate salen‐type ligands were first time explored in ethylene polymerizations. The effects of the vanadium complex structure, the alkyl aluminum cocatalysts type (EtAlCl2, Et2AlCl, Et3Al, and MAO), and the polymerization conditions (Al/V molar ratio, temperature) on polyethylene yield were explored. It was found that EtAlCl2 in conjunction with investigated vanadium complexes produced the most efficient catalytic systems. It was shown, moreover, that the structural changes of the tetradentate salen ligand (type of bridge which bond donor nitrogen atoms and type of substituent on aryl rings) affected activity of the catalytic system. The complexes containing li…

Ethylene polymerization using vanadium catalyst supported on silica modified by pyridinium ionic liquid

2016

Vanadium catalyst systems (SIL1–3A(B)/V) for ethylene polymerization were obtained by immobilization of the Cp2VCl2precursor (V) in the ionic liquid -[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]pyridinium chloride (IL), modified by AlCl3 and AlEtCl2(A) or AlEt2Cl (B), and supported on three types of silica carrier S1–3. The properties of the ionic liquid supports were determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller measurements, scanning electron microscopy and elemental analysis. The best results (above 2 tons PE (mol V)−1(0.5 h)−1) were obtained using the catalyst system SIL3B/V. Addition of ethyl trichloroacetate is possible in the ionic liquid medium and it further increas…

Nanocomposites with polyhedral oligomeric silesquioxane nanofillers - characterization of morphology, thermal and mechanical properties

2016

High-density polyethylene nanocomposites with hydroxy-hepta(iso-butyl)-octasilsesquioxane (POSS-(i-Bu)7OH) and hydroxy-hepta(iso-octyl)-octasilsesquioxane (POSS-(i-Oct)7OH) as nanofillers were prepared by melt blending. The morphological, thermal and mechanical properties as well as processability of obtained nanocomposites were characterized. POSS nanofillers were homogenously dispersed in polymeric matrix. High compatibility between nanofiller and polymer induced enhanced thermal stability, Charpy impact strength and melt flow rate for composite materials. POSS particles acted also as a nucleating agent for polyethylene crystallization in the nanocomposite.

Direct synthesis of fibrous high molecular weight polyethylene using vanadium catalysts supported on an SiO2 ionic liquid system

2015

Polyethylene of fibrous morphology was obtained using Cp2VCl2 and VCl2(salenCl2) catalysts activated by AlEt2Cl and AlEtCl2 and heterogenized on a supported ionic liquid system prepared with SiO2 and 1-(3-triethoxysilyl)propyl-3-methylimidazolium chloroaluminate. The fibre length ranges from 15 to 60 µm, depending on the reaction conditions. The polyethylene is characterized by a high molecular weight ((1.1–2.4) × 106 g mol−1) and a narrow molecular weight distribution (1.4–2.5). It is a linear polymer, properly without branching. The DSC method reveals characteristic changes in melting temperature and crystallinity degree between the first and second scan heating cycles (141 °C and 136 °C,…
