Patent number: 5182330Abstract: In the copolymerization of 4-methyl-1-pentene and at least one alpha olefin under batch polymerization conditions at a temperature of at least about 50.degree. C. wherein 4-methyl-1-pentene is initially polymerized in the absence of comonomer and then comonomer is added to the reaction vessel to permit copolymer formation, the improvement comprising initially forming 4-methyl-1-pentene homopolymer in an amount sufficient to reduce the solubility of the later formed copolymer at the polymerization temperature, said homopolymer being no more than about 5 weight percent of the end product copolymer. Also the products of such polymerizations are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1991Date of Patent: January 26, 1993Assignee: Phillips Petroleum CompanyInventors: Phil M. Stricklen, Daniel M.

Patent number: 4503201Abstract: A silica composition is calcined at a temperature high enough to remove some but not all of the hydroxyl content. Generally temperatures of at least 400.degree. C. are required and temperatures above 1000.degree. C. are undesirable, the most preferred temperature being about 600.degree.-800.degree. C. The thus calcined silica is then treated with chromyl chloride at an elevated temperature and finally given a treatment in a carbon monoxide ambient. While the final composition contains chlorine which is normally considered a catalyst poison, the material is surprisingly active as an olefin polymerization catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 1984Date of Patent: March 5, 1985Assignee: Phillips Petroleum CompanyInventors: Max P. McDaniel, Phil M. Stricklen
