Summary
Ethylene and propylene co-polymerization and sequential polymerization with high activity supported titanium catalysts were studied. Specific rate of homopolymerization and copolymerization constants for ethylene and propylene were determined by using the derived values of the solubility constants for monomers in nascent polymers. The reason of the increased rate of co-polymerization upon enriching the monomers mixture with propylene, the effect of activation of ethylene polymerization upon preliminary polymerization of propylene may be in the increasing number of active sites due to enlarged content of amorphous phase in the nascent polymer product.
