Abstract
The kinetic features of polymerization of ethylene with five methylaluminoxane-activated selfim-mobilizing bis(phenoxyimine) complexes of titanium chloride, namely, bis{2-[(4-allyloxyphenylimino)methyl]-6-tert-butylphenoxy}TiCl2, bis{2-[(4-allyloxyphenylimino)methyl]-4,6-di-tert-butylphenoxy}TiCl2, bis{2-[(4-allyloxyphenylimino)methyl]-6-cumylphenoxy}TiCl2, bis{2-[(4-allyloxyphenylimino)methyl]-4,6-dicumylphenoxy}TiCl2, and bis{2-[(4-allyloxyphenylimino)methyl]-6-1-(4-tert-butylphenyl)ethylphenoxy}TiCl2 have been studied. The activity of these complexes in the polymerization of ethylene in the temperature range 20–80°C and an ethylene pressure of 0.3 MPa has been investigated both in the homogeneous and polymer matrix-bound states. The self-immobilizing catalytic systems possess high activity (up to 40000 kgPE/molcat MPa h) and give rise to ultrahigh-molecular-weight PE (M = (2–7) × 106) with an improved morphology of polymer particles.
