Abstract:
Catalyst compositions comprising Group 4 metal complexes containing a diene moiety and activating cocatalysts are used as catalysts for polymerizing olefins, diolefins and/or acetylenically unsaturated monomers. Vinylidene aromatic monomers, particularly styrene are polymerized to form highly syndiotactic polymers.
Abstract:
This invention relates to segmented, multicomponent interpolymers comprising: A) at least one olefin polymer segment comprising a substantially linear ethylene homopolymer or a substantially linear or branched copolymer of ethylene and at least one comonomer selected from the group consisting of C3-20 alpha -olefins, and B) at least one monovinylidene aromatic polymer segment, said olefin polymer segment and monovinylidene aromatic polymer segment being joined by means of the copolymerization of the terminal vinyl functionality of a macromonomer comprising the monovinylidene aromatic polymer segment with ethylene or a mixture of ethylene and said at least one comonomer under Ziegler-Natta polymerization conditions.
