Supported stereospecific metallocene binary catalyst for propylene polymerization

In this work, propylene was polymerized with isospecific and syndiospecific catalysts in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. The binary metallocene system of both isospecific and syndiospecific catalysts in the heterogeneous system was also used. Besides the type of catalyst, parameters such as polymerization temperature and pressure were varied to achieve the better conditions for the polymerization. The objective of this work is to investigate the influence of these parameters on the characteristics of the produced polymer. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
