在乙烯-丙烯(EP)和乙烯-1-己烯(EH)的共聚反应中,合成,表征和研究了新的未桥接混合配体锆茂。MAO活化的茂金属[1-苄基-2-(3',5'-二叔丁基)苯基茚基] [2-苯基茚基]二氯化锆(8)催化的EP和EH共聚反应活性比大于1 (r e r p = 2.4,r e r h =2.2)产生橡胶状,半结晶,高熔点的聚合物。通过差示扫描量热法(DSC)在仅含50mol%乙烯的EP和EH共聚物中检测结晶度。高乙烯含量的EH共聚物的溶剂分馏表明,这些共聚物由少量醚溶性馏分和庚烷可溶及庚烷不溶性馏分组成,其组成和序列分布与未分级分离的聚合物非常匹配。总的来说,反应率,DSC和分馏结果表明这些共聚物含有长的可结晶的乙烯序列。一系列乙烯-1-己烯共聚物与80摩尔%乙烯的熔点行为的比较表明,熔融转变对共聚单体序列分布的敏感依赖性。

This invention relates generally to low ethylene insertions into &agr;-olefin polymers and processes for production of such polymers using unbridged fluxional metallocenes, primarily substituted aryl indenyl metallocenes, and more particularly to use of unbridged, fluxional, cyclopentadienyl or indenyl metallocene catalyst systems in methods of production of high melting point &agr;-olefin homo- and co-polymers, particularly elastomeric crystalline and amorphous block homo- and co-polymers of &agr;-olefins. The activity of fluxional unbridged metallocene polymerization catalysts containing at least one 2-arylindene ligand is increased 10× or more by the addition of small (typically 0.1-10 wt. %) amounts of ethylene to the polymerization system, which increase is termed the Polymerization Rate-Enhancement effect (PRE), which is measured in terms of an Ethylene Enhancement Factor (EEF) as a dimensionless ratio in the range of from about 1.1 to about 10 or above. The amount of ethylene included in the reaction system can be selected and controlled to be so small as to result in essentially minimal (<2 mole %) incorporation of ethylene units into the resulting elastomeric polymer and the molecular weight may be increased. Amounts of ethylene to generate the PRE effect may be greater than 0.1 wt. % and preferably range up to about 2 wt. %. However, if a polymer with more ethylene is desired, additional ethylene may be incorporated into the polymerization feed, including up to 10 to about 50 mole % based on olefin units. A second important aspect of this invention is the ability to use a PRE activity-enhancing amount of ethylene in an olefin polymerization without substantially affecting the physical properties of the elastomer. In a third important aspect of this invention, &agr;-olefin elastomers are produced through incorporation of ethylene using unbridged fluxional catalyst systems which may not otherwise produce acceptable elastomeric homopolymers. This effect is termed the EPE effect, for Elastomeric Property-Enhancing effect. The EPE amount of ethylene required to produce such elastomers typically overlaps the PRE activity-enhancing amount. Incorporation of up to about 5 mole % or more of ethylene typically will produce an elastomeric polymer using such catalyst systems. Typical useful amounts of incorporated ethylene include about 1 to 3 mole %. Preferred polymers of this invention retain sufficient crystallinity to provide a high melting point (by DSC) of about 80° C., preferably above 100° C., including in the range of from about 120° C. to about 140° C. and above. Novel flexible &agr;-olefin homo and copolymers having elongation in excess of 600% and substantially no retained force are disclosed.

This invention relates generally to low ethylene insertions into .alpha.-olefin polymers and processes for production of such polymers using unbridged fluxional metallocenes, primarily substituted aryl indenyl metallocenes, and more particularly to use of unbridged, fluxional, cyclopentadienyl or indenyl metallocene catalyst systems in methods of production of high melting point .alpha.-olefin homo- and co-polymers, particularly elastomeric crystalline and amorphous block homo- and co-polymers of .alpha.-olefins. The activity of fluxional unbridged metallocene polymerization catalysts containing at least one 2-arylindene ligand is increased 10.times. or more by the addition of small (typically 0.1-10 wt. %) amounts of ethylene to the polymerization system, which increase is termed the Polymerization Rate-Enhancement effect (PRE), which is measured in terms of an Ethylene Enhancement Factor (EEF) as a dimensionless ratio in the range of from about 1.1 to about 10 or above.
