Abstract

The influence of supported titanium-magnesium catalysts with various internal and external donors on the propylene polymerization in the liquid monomer medium and the characteristics of the polypropylene formed were studied. The following internal donors were used: dibutyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, 9,9′-bis(methoxymethyl) fluorene, and diethyl 2,3-diisopropylsuccinate. The catalysts studied allow synthesis of polypropylene with high isotacticity (>96%) and different molecular-mass distribution (Mw/Mn from 3.3 to 6.3). The influence of external donors (alicyclic, amine) in combination with phthalate and nonphthalate electron-donor compounds on the stereospecificity and activity of the catalysts and on their sensitivity to hydrogen was studied. The optimum catalytic systems for preparing polypropylene for various purposes can be found by varying pairs of internal and external donors.
