Patent number: 5686371Abstract: A process for the polymerization of one or more conjugated dienes by means of a rare earth based catalyst in which the catalyst is formed by bringing together in liquid hydrocarbon medium in the presence of a small portion of conjugated diene: a) a rare earth salt, b) an organo aluminum and c) a silicon halide or organosilicon halide and aging the catalyst before contact with the conjugated diene(s) to be polymerized. This catalyst formation procedure offers the possibility of producing a diene polymer of high cis content with a narrower molecular weight distribution and/or smaller high molecular weight fraction which is reflected in improved processing characteristics and reduced viscosity in styrene.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 1994Date of Patent: November 11, 1997Assignee: Enichem Elastomers Ltd.Inventors: Peter John Ansell, Hugh David Williams

Patent number: 5670439Abstract: A vanadium-containing catalyst system particularly suited to the polymerization of olefin polymers. The catalyst system includes a supported, first catalyst component prepared by contacting silica with hexaalkyldisilazane and thereupon with (1) a compound or complex which includes at least one carbon to magnesium covalent bond and (2) a compound which includes at least one carbon to Group 13 metal covalent bond. The sequence of contact of the silica with compound or complex (1) and compound (2) is optional. However, unless the compound or complex (1) and the compound (2) contact the silica simultaneously, the product of this contact is next contacted with whichever of compound (1) or (2) does not initially contact the silica. The product of the step of contacting with compounds (1) and (2) is washed and then contacted with a vanadium compound which includes at least one halogen atom. Finally, the product of the vanadium compound contacting step is contacted with an alcohol.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1996Date of Patent: September 23, 1997Assignee: Quantum Chemical CorporationInventors: Linda N.
