Abstract:
LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYMERS ARE PREPARED BY POLYMERIZATION OF 1-OLEFINS THROUGH METHODS WHICH LEAD TO RELATIVELY THERMALLY STABLE POLYMERS OF HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT WHICH ARE INTIMATELY MIXED WITH RELATIVELY THERMALLY UNSTABLE POLYMERS TO PRODUCE AN ADMIXTURE OF THE TWO POLYMERS WHICH IS THEN SUBJECTED TO THERMAL CRACKING, FOLLOWING WHICH A LOWER MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYMER CRACKED FROM THE RELATIVELY STABLE HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYMER CAN BE RECOVERED. A DESIRABLE METHOD FOR OBTAINING THE INTIMATE ADMIXTURE IS PREPARATION OF THE HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYMER IN A REACTION SYSTEM CONTAINING THE RELATIVELY THERMALLY UNSTABLE POLYMER.
Abstract:
Polymerization catalysts are prepared by adsorbing water upon an inert support and extending a water-dispersible or soluble transition metal compound upon the support by mixing. The water is then removed and the transition metal compound converted to a highly oxidized state by calcination.
Abstract:
A novel catalyst composite for the polymerization of unsaturated organic compounds is oxidized manganese extended on a support used in conjunction with an organoaluminum compound.
