Abstract

The polymerization of hexene-1, octene-1 and decene-1 with a modified Ziegler catalyst based on the product of interaction of TiCl4, Et2AlCl, and n-Bu2O in toluene has been studied. Et2AlCl, i-Bu2AlCl, and a combination of Et2AlCl with MgBu2 were used as cocatalysts. The addition of a small amount of MgBu2 to Et2AlCl resulted in a sharp increase in the catalytic system activity along with decreases in the molecular masses of the formed polymers. It has been shown that a change of [Mg]/[Al] ratio makes it possible to produce polyolefins in a wide range of molecular masses with high effectiveness. The above mentioned polymers are amorphous ultrahigh molecular materials with predominantly isotactic structure.
