This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scope of the work is the kinetic investigation of two fourth generation Ziegler-Natta catalysts as well as a supported metallocene catalyst for the polymerization of propylene under industrially relevant conditions and the development of simplified phenomenological kinetic models describing the polymerizations. Therein, the influence of different reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, hydrogen concentration) and, in particular, the effect of prepolymerization on catalyst kinetics as well as on polymer characteristics are studied. The Ziegler-Natta catalysts were investigated under gas-phase conditions in a 5 l horizontal stirred tank reactor operating in semi-batch mode. Both catalysts showed a similar kinetic behavior as well as hydrogen response at the different reaction conditions. Applying a prepolymerization led to an increase in activity at higher reaction temperatures as well as an improved polymer morphology. The impact of prepolymerization is catalyst specific and depends on the catalyst activity reached at main polymerization temperature. The supported metallocene catalyst was studied under bulk conditions in liquid propylene using a special 250 ml reaction calorimeter. A focus was set on procedure development (in-situ and external prepolymerization) with the target of defined prepolymerization conditions and early access to the kinetic profile. Final kinetic measurements were carried out using the developed external prepolymerization procedure. Based on the experimental studies, simplified phenomenological kinetic models are developed for each catalyst type enabling the quantitative description of the polymerization reactions at the different reaction conditions including the effect of prepolymerization. Main hypothesis for the mathematical description of the prepolymerization effect is that particle overheating at the beginning of the polymerization is the major reason for lower activities obtained when no prepolymerization is applied. For particle modeling, a quasi-homogeneous particle model is assumed considering particle growth and particle heat-transfer. As similar kinetic behaviors were observed for both Ziegler-Natta catalysts, the same kinetic model can be used; differences can only be described by the catalyst specific amount of polymerization active component. A similar kinetic model approach is used to describe the bulk polymerization with metallocene catalyst. Differences regarding the different polymerization regime, in particular monomer concentration in the polymer particle, hydrogen concentration in liquid phase, are considered. With the estimated sets of kinetic parameters, average activities and average molecular weights can be calculated as well as activity profiles of the catalysts can be quantitatively described at the different reaction conditions.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 45 years after the discovery of transition metals and organometallics as cocatalysts for the polymerization of olefins and for organic synthesis, these compounds have not lost their fascination. The birthday of Karl Ziegler, the great pioneer in this metalorganic catalysis, is now 100 years ago. Polyolefins and polydienes produced by Ziegler-Natta catalysis are the most important plastics and elastomers. New impulses for the polymerization of olefins have been brought about by highly active metallocenes and other single site catalysts. Just by changing the ligands of the organometallic compounds, the structure of the polymers produced can be tailored in a wide manner. In invited lectures and posters, relevant aspects of the metalorganic catalysts for synthesis and polymerization are discussed in this book. This includes mechanism and kinetics, stereochemistry, material properties, and industrial applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent development of olefin polymerization catalysts has caused marked changes in both industrial and academic research. Industrial use of homogeneous metallocene catalysts has already begun in the fields of high density polyethylene and syndiotactic polypropylene. Moreover, important data have been obtained from academic investigations which have proved useful for understanding conventional heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts. From the industrial viewpoint, however, heterogeneous high-yield catalysts seem to be more important. The present volume contains invited lectures and contributed papers. The following topics are covered: (1) Heterogeneous Catalysts, (2) Metallocene Catalysts and (3) New Trends in the Polyolefin Industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past 30 years, the field of alkene polymerization over transition metal catalysts underwent several major changes:1. The list of commercial heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts for the synthesis of polyethylene and stereoregular polyolefins was completely renewed affording an unprecedented degree of control over the polymer structure.2. Research devoted to metallocene and other soluble transition-metal catalysis has vastly expanded and has shifted toward complexes of transition metals with multidentate ligands.3. Recent developments in gel permeation chromatography, temperature-rising fractionation, and crystallization fractionation provided the first reliable information about differences between various active centers in transition-metal catalysts.4. A rapid development of high-resolution 13C NMR spectroscopy resulted in greatly expanded understanding of the chemical and steric features of polyolefins and alkene copolymers. These developments require a new review of all aspects of alkene polymerization reactions with transition-metal catalysts. The first chapter in the book is an introductory text for researchers who are entering the field. It describes the basic principles of polymerization reactions with transition-metal catalysts, the types of catalysts, and commercially manufactured polyolefins. The next chapter addresses the principal issue of alkene polymerization catalysis: the existence of catalyst systems with single and multiple types of active centers. The subsequent chapters are devoted to chemistry and stereochemistry of elemental reaction steps, structures of catalyst precursors and reactions leading to the formation of active centers, kinetics of polymerization reactions, and their mechanisms. The book describes the latest commercial polymerization catalysts for the synthesis of polyethylenes and polypropylene The book provides a detailed description of the multi-center nature of commercial Ziegler-Natta catalysts. The book devotes specialized chapters to the most important aspects of transition metal polymerization catalysts: the reactions leading to the formation of active centers, the chemistry and stereochemistry of elemental polymerization steps, reaction kinetics, and the polymerization mechanism. The book contains an introductory chapter for researchers who are entering the field of polymerization catalysis. It describes the basic principles of polymerization reactions with transition-metal catalysts and the types of commercially manufactured polyolefins and copolymersThe book contains over 2000 references, the most recent up to end of 2006.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book extensively reviews Polypropylene (PP), the second most widely produced thermoplastic material, having been produced for over 60 years. Its synthesis, processing and application are still accompanied by vigorous R&D developments because the properties of PP are at the borderline between those of commodity and engineering thermoplastics. Readers are introduced to various tacticities and polymorphs of PP, and their effects on structural properties. Further, the book addresses the control of optical properties using nucleants, provides strategies for overcoming the limited cold/impact resistance of PP, examines in detail the effects of recycling, and presents guidelines for the property modification of PPs through foaming, filling and reinforcing with respect to target applications. Special attention is paid to descriptions and models of properties as a function of morphological variables. Last but not least, the book suggests potential practical applications of PP-based systems, especially in the packaging, appliances, building/construction, textile and automotive sectors. Each chapter, written by internationally respected scientists, reflects the current state-of-art in the respective field and offers a vital source of information for students, researchers and engineers interested in the morphology, properties, testing and modeling of PP and PP-based systems. The content is indispensable to the appropriate application of PPs and related composites.
