  • Patent number: 8722832
    Abstract: A copolymer of ethylene, a catalyst system suitable to prepare the copolymer, and a process to prepare such copolymer are described. The copolymer comprises from 60 to 80% by weight of ethylene and from 20 to 40% by weight of at least one first ?-olefin comonomer having n carbon atoms and at least one second ?-olefin comonomer having (n?1) carbon atoms, n being from 4 to 13, has a polydispersity Mw/Mn equal to or lower than 3.5, and a density from 0.855 to 0.880 g/cm3. The copolymer is obtained by subjecting ethylene and said at least one first ?-olefin comonomer to a polymerization stage in the presence of a catalyst system capable of forming a copolymer of ethylene and said at least one first ?-olefin comonomer having n carbon atoms, while forming the second ?-olefin comonomer having (n?1) carbon atoms.

  • Publication number: 20130072652
    Abstract: The invention refers to a process for preparing a supported catalyst system for the polymerization of olefins comprising at least one active catalyst component on a support, the process comprising A) impregnating a dry porous support component with a mixture comprising at least one precatalyst, at least one cocatalyst, and a first solvent, such that the total volume of the mixture is from 0.8 to 2.0 times the total pore volume of the support component, and B) thereafter, adding a second solvent in an amount of more than 1.5 times the total pore volume of the support component. The invention refers further to a catalyst system made by this process and the use of this catalyst system for polymerization or copolymerization of olefins.

  • Patent number: 8247587
    Abstract: The present invention relates to monohydroindacenyl complexes as active catalytic components in the copolymerization of ethylene. The complexes are suitable for direct preparation of ethylene copolymers having a narrow molecular distribution as well as the desired levels of low density and preferably a predetermined value of glass transition temperature Tg. The produced copolymers showing improved elastomeric performance can be prepared in a single step during polymerization reaction, thus avoiding a blending step following the polymerization step.
