  • Patent number: 7238758
    Abstract: The invention has an object to provide a catalyst for polymerizing or copolymerizing an ?-olefin, catalyst constituent thereof, and method of polymerizing ?-olefins with the catalyst, for production of ?-olefin polymers or copolymers with high hydrogen response, high polymarization reaction rate, high stereoregularity and excellent melt fluidity. The invention discloses a catalyst constituent of the catalyst for polymerizing or copolymerizing an ?-olefin, represented by Formula 37 or 38: Si(OR1)3(NR2R3)Formula 37 (where in Formula 37, R1 is a hydrocarbon group with 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R2 is a hydrocarbon group with 1 to 12 carbon atoms or hydrogen; and R3 is a hydrocarbon group with 1 to 12 carbon atoms) RNSi(OR1)3Formula 38 (where in Formula 38, R1 is a hydrocarbon group with 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and RN is a cyclicl amino group).

  • Patent number: 6521726
    Abstract: A polymer of ethylenically unsaturated monomer, for example, 1,3-butadiene, having a desired molecular weight and distribution thereof is produced, with a high stability, by preparing a solution of hydrogen in an inert organic solvent for the monomer in which a vapor-liquid phase equilibrium of hydrogen is attained, and then by addition-polymerizing the monomer in the hydrogen-dissolved inert organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst preferably including a metallocene complex of transition metal compound, an inert compound of a non-coordination anionic compound with a cationic compound, an organic metal (aluminum) compound and, optionally, water.

  • Patent number: 5939573
    Abstract: A di(polycyclic amino)dialkoxysilane which is of value as an auxiliary catalyst component for polymerizing an .alpha.-olefin to produce an .alpha.-olefin polymer having a high stereoregularity and a broad molecular weight distribution is prepared by reacting a secondary polycyclic-amine compound with an organomagnesium compound in an ether solvent, to produce a polycyclic-amido magnesium compound, and reacting the polycyclic-amido magnesium compound with a tetraalkoxysilane in a solvent mixture of an ether solvent and an inert hydrocarbon solvent.
