Abstract: The present invention is directed to a coordinating catalyst system comprising at least one metallocene or constrained geometry pre-catalyst transition metal compound, (e.g., di-(n-butylcyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride), at least one support-activator (e.g., spray dried silica/clay agglomerate), and optionally at least one organometallic compound (e.g., triisobutyl aluminum), in controlled amounts, and methods for preparing the same. The resulting catalyst system exhibits enhanced activity for polymerizing olefins and yields polymer having very good morphology. The support-activator is a layered material having a negative charge on its interlaminar surfaces and is sufficiently Lewis acidic to activate the transition metal compound for olefin polymerization.

Abstract: The present invention relates to catalyst supports and improvements thereof for use with supported activators and supported transition metal catalyst systems. The invention specifically involves reacting a carrier containing reactive functionalities, e.g., hydroxyl containing silica, with halogenated organic compounds, e.g., fluorosubstituted phenols. The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a base. The reaction consumes undesired functionalities on the support to provide a halogenated support which is suitable for activators and catalytic precursors which are adversely affected by functionalities typically found on supports. The supported activators or catalytic precursors are prepared by contacting the precursors or activators with the halogenated support.
