Alkali metal complexes of two types of ansa-tris(allyl) ligand are reported; a monoanionic ansa-tris(allyl) ligand containing tin(II) is formally valence isoelectronic to the cyclopentadienyl ligand and a trianionic ansa-tris(allyl) ligand containing silicon(IV) is formally valence isoelectronic to an ansa-metallocene ligand; the potential wider use of these tripodal ligands in coordination che...

EEthylene polymerization catalysts became available in an enormous variety. The challenge in this research is to find catalysts that are able to connect ethylene molecules in such a way that not only linear chains are produced but variations like branched materials that possess very interesting mechanical properties like linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). In this contribution, three diffe...

Abstract In this work, a high fluidity polypropylene prepared with the metallocene catalyst (mPP) was used as matrix, carbon nanotube (CNT) and continuous fiber (CCF) were added to prepare composites, their mechanical properties, melting crystallization behavior investigated. effects of tension force in preparation process compatibilizer maleic anhydride grafted (MAPP) on tensile strength compo...

highly active metallocenes and other single site catalysts have opened up the possibility of polymerizing cycloolefins such as norbornene (n) or of copolymerizing them with ethene (e) or propene (p). the polymers obtained show exciting structures and properties. e-n copolymers are industrially produced materials, with variable and high glass transitions depending on the wide range of their micr...

Spray dry granulation of clay minerals was studied to obtain clay mineral base support material for metallocene supported olefin polymerization catalysts. The morphology of the granules was strongly influenced by the nature of the clay mineral itself. Because of swelling characteristics of montmorillonite, its water dispersion was highly viscous even in the low slurry concentration (< 4 wt %). ...
