  • Publication number: 20220010044
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a supported catalyst for propylene polymerization in which a first transition metal compound contributing to the production of crystalline polypropylene and a second transition metal compound contributing to the production of rubbery polypropylene are co-supported, and a method for producing a polypropylene resin using same. By using the supported catalyst, according to the present invention, it is possible to produce, by a single step of propylene polymerization, a polypropylene resin in which crystalline polypropylene and rubbery polypropylene are simultaneously formed.

  • Publication number: 20220002448
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a supported catalyst for olefin polymerization, and a method for preparing a polyolefin by using same, the supported catalyst comprising: a main catalyst comprising a metallocene-based compound; a cocatalyst comprising an organoaluminum-based compound; an aromatic compound in which two or more polar groups selected from a hydroxyl group (—OH), an amine group (—NH2), a thiol group (—SH), a carboxyl group (—COOH) and an amide group (—CONH2) are bonded, and one or more halogen groups are bonded; and a support for supporting the main catalyst, the cocatalyst and the aromatic compound. When olefins are polymerized by using the supported catalyst of the present invention, the catalyst exhibits excellent activity and fouling can be reduced by inhibiting the generation of polyolefin fine powder.

  • Publication number: 20140142263
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a first example of effective direct position specific C—H arylation of thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine derivative and several hetero aryl bromide under the ‘Heck-type’ experiment condition using Pd(OAc)2/n-Bu4NBr as a catalyst system, thienopyrazine in which aryl is replaced to increase various values. The current synthesis methodology is a simpler method than a facial method and is used to prepare ?-conjugated oligomer and/or polymer material based on interesting hexylthiophen and thienopyrazine portion for electronic industries which construct a new synthetic organic material using potential application programs. The arylation generates more position selectivity in a C—H bond than in a pyrazine C—H bond. The optical and electrical characteristics of the synthesis copolymer are survey.
