Research Abstract |
Inorganic siliceous porous materials with different average pore diameters were applied to the adsorptive separation of methylalumoxane (MAO) used as co-catalyst in α-olefin polymerization. The separated MAO was characterized by means of ^<13>C-NMR, ICP and ESI-MS.An existence of lower molecular weight MAOs in the liquid separated by MCM-41 was suggested.. The co-catalytic performance of the separated MAO was also investigated by polymerizations of ethylene and propylene with Cp_2ZrCl_2 and rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2. The polymerization activities of ethylene and propylene and the stereoregularity of the obtained polypropylene were markedly dependent upon the pore size of porous material used for adsorptive separation. It was found that MAO species adsorbed into mesoporous silica MCM-41 with ca. 25 Å in diameter is very effective for ethylene polymerization and that there are at least two kinds of active species with different stereospecificity in rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2/MAO catalyst system.
