Studies of intermolecular heterogeneity distribution in ethylene/1-hexene copolymers using DSC method
2002
The investigation of the intermolecular composition distribution of an ethylene/1-hexene copolymers using DSC method has been carried out. The known methods: step crystallization (SC) and successive self-nucleation/annealing (SSA) have been adapted for this purpose, and particularly, the optimal condition of the process have been chosen to enable the best fractional crystallization of the copolymer. The method has been applied for fractionation of two ethylene/1-hexenecopolymers synthesized with supported vanadium and zirconocene catalysts and having similar concentrations of 1-hexene. Although metallocene catalysts are known from their more homogeneous structure of active sites in comparis…
Studies of ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization over zirconocene catalyst supported on MAO-modified MgCl2(THF)2. The effect of copolymerization conditi…

Composition of catalytic system and copolymerization reaction conditions influence on heterogeneity of ethylene/1-hexene copolymers obtained over MgCI2(THF)2/MAO/Cp2ZrCl2/MAO catalyst was studied. One of the DSC techniques, i.e. successive self-nucleation/annealing (SSA) method allowing separation of the polymer into fractions with differing chemical composition in result of alternating crystallization and melting cycles was applied. It was found that the intermolecular heterogeneity exists inside all studied samples irrespective of the reaction conditions (temperature and time) and the catalyst composition (Al/Zr molar ratio). It was also confirmed that catalyst composition has a considera…
