Photo-polymerization of vinyl chloride using metallocene catalysts

Disclosed is a process for polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer in the presence of light. A mixture is formed of liquid vinyl chloride monomer, preferably about 10 to about 250 ppm of a metallocene catalyst, about 1 to about 2000 moles of an aluminum-containing cocatalyst per mole of catalyst, and up...

Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a process for polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer in the presence of light. A mixture is formed of liquid vinyl chloride monomer, preferably about 10 to about 250 ppm of a metallocene catalyst, about 1 to about 2000 moles of an aluminum-containing cocatalyst per mole of catalyst, and up to about 500 moles of a Lewis base per mole of aluminum in the cocatalyst. Selected alkyl groups from the aluminum-containing cocatalyst can be placed on the ends of the poly (vinyl chloride) chains.
