Patent number: 4780443Abstract: The present invention relates to an improvement of the known Ziegler catalyst which comprises a combination of a titanium-containing component and an organoaluminum component, and the present invention is characterized by a specific titanium-containing component. Namely, this titanium-containing component is obtained by contacting a known titanium-containing component of the Ziegler type catalyst which comprises Ti, Mg and a halogen, with an alkoxyalkylsilane compound which is characterized in that at least one of the alkyl groups has a branched structure. This catalyst does not require a so-called external electron donor, and no reduction of the polymerization velocity caused by the use of the electron donor is entailed. When this catalyst is used, a propylene/ethylene block copolymer in which the molecular weight of the propylene/ethylene copolymer portion and/or the polyethylene portion is increased, that is, the rigidity and impact strength are increased, can be prepared.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1987Date of Patent: October 25, 1988Assignee: Mitsubishi Petrochemical Company LimitedInventors: Mitsuyuki Matsuura, Takashi Fujita

Patent number: 4546092Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparing a titanium catalyst component useful for homopolymerizing 1-alkenes and for copolymerizing 1-alkenes with each other and/or with ethylene, consisting essentially in grinding a titanium halide compound/electron-donor complex with a magnesium aluminum halide obtained by precipitation from an organic solvent.In the process the ground product is first washed with a washing liquid containing a solvent for the aluminum halide/electron-donor complex which forms during the grinding process and by preference at least one alcohol, the molar ratio between alcohol and titanium in the ground product ranging between 50:1 and 1:20, and then the washed product is exposed to a liquid titanium halide compound.With this procedure, it is possible to obtain a titanium component which imparts to the polymerization catalyst an excellent stereospecificity along with a very high activity, and with which it is possible to obtain polymers, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 1983Date of Patent: October 8, 1985Assignee: Stamicarbon B.V., Licensing Subsidiary of DSMInventors: Jacobus A.
