  • Patent number: 8791042
    Abstract: Process for the preparation of an unsupported, heterogeneous olefin polymerization catalyst system, comprising an organometallic compound of a transition metal of Group 3 to 10 of the Periodic Table (IUPAC 2007) in the form of solid particles comprising the steps of a) preparing a solution (A) comprising ai) an organometallic compound of a transition metal of Group 3 to 10 of the Periodic Table (IUPAC 2007) or of an actinide or lanthanide, a2) a cocatalyst comprising an element of group 13 of the Periodic Table (IUPAC 2007) and a3) a solvent (A-1), b) preparing a liquid/liquid emulsion system by dispersing the solution (A) in a solvent (B) essentially immiscible with said solution (A) in the presence of a polystyrene-b-fluoro polystyrene copolymer of the formula (I) in which n is a number from 10 to 100, m is a number from 1 to 40, x is a number from 5 to 16, y is a number from 11 to 33, provided that m, n, x and y are selected in a way that the block copolymer is soluble in the solvent B or the solution A in
