Some Aspect of Polymerization Catalyst

Polymerization catalyst laser-interference patterning.

The binding of molecular polymerization catalysts to solid supports, in the form of microporous particles or also flat substrates, has been extensively studied. 11 .] The primary aim is to gain control of the morphology of the polymer formed directly during polymerization. This approach can be convenient, for example, in saving additional processing steps if the polymer is formed directly in th...

Ring-expansion metathesis polymerization: catalyst-dependent polymerization profiles.

Ring-expansion metathesis polymerization (REMP) mediated by recently developed cyclic Ru catalysts has been studied in detail with a focus on the polymer products obtained under varied reaction conditions and catalyst architectures. Depending upon the nature of the catalyst structure, two distinct molecular weight evolutions were observed. Polymerization conducted with catalysts bearing six-car...

FI Catalyst for Polymerization of Olefin

A phase separable polycarbonate polymerization catalyst.

Polyisobutylene is shown to be a nonpolar phase tag that separates a highly colored salen Cr(III) complex from products but is otherwise kinetically similar to a low molecular weight salen Cr(III) complex in polycarbonate formation by Cr(III)-catalyzed copolymerization of CO2 and cyclohexene oxide.

Reaction dynamics during the testing of polymerization catalyst

The olefins polymerization process in a slurry reactor is discussed. The reaction rate dynamics was analyzed and the contributions of feed flow, gas-liquid mass transfer, polymerization reaction, and catalyst deactivation were estimated. The propylene solubility in a solvent mixture “heptane” was calculated using Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state. These data were then approximated by Henry-...
