Patent number: 5100982Abstract: High cis-1,4-polybutadiene can be synthesized by polymerizing 1,3-butadiene monomer with a three component nickel catalyst system containing (a) an organonickel compound, (b) an organoaluminum compound, and (c) a fluorine containing compound. However, the molecular weight of the high cis-1,4-polybutadiene prepared is typically too high to be utilized as a non-oil extended rubber. This invention is based upon the discovery that halogenated phenols act to reduce the molecular weight and to increase the molecular weight distribution of high cis-1,4-polybutadiene prepared with such nickel based catalyst systems. The use of halogenated phenols as modifiers in such polymerizations does not change the microstructure of the high cis-1,4-polybutadiene produced.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 1991Date of Patent: March 31, 1992Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventor: Kenneth F.

Patent number: 4510342Abstract: A method for preparing synthetic oils characterized by a high viscosity index and prepared from 1-olefin is described. The method comprises polymerizing a 1-olefin or a mixture of 1-olefins in the presence of(a) at least one transition metal halide catalyst,(b) at least one alkyl aluminum compound containing up to about 15 carbon atoms in each alkyl group and up to about 40 carbon atoms per molecule as a co-catalyst, and(c) a saturated alkyl fluoride.The homopolymers and copolymers prepared in accordance with the method of the invention generally are characterized by a high viscosity index such as between about 100 to 300. The homopolymers and copolymers are useful as synthetic lubricants and as additives to synthetic or mineral oil lubricants for modifying the viscosity index characteristics of the lubricants.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1982Date of Patent: April 9, 1985Assignee: The Standard Oil CompanyInventors: Janie K.

Patent number: 4481344Abstract: Disclosed is the incorporation into a two-part metathesis-catalyst system of a halogen containing hydrocarbyl additive, where the hydrocarbyl additive contains at least one trihalogen substituted atom or at least one activated halogen atom. The use of this catalyst system to polymerize dicyclopentadiene results in a thermoset polymer containing low levels of residual monomer. Also disclosed is a preferred embodiment of dicyclopentadiene polymerization where the two parts of the metathesis-catalyst system, plus dicyclopentadiene are combined in the mixing head of a reaction injection molding machine and then injected into a mold where the dicyclopentadiene rapidly sets up into a thermoset polymer.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1983Date of Patent: November 6, 1984Assignee: Hercules IncorporatedInventor: Norman R. Newburg, deceased

Patent number: 4385161Abstract: A catalyst component is a transition metal composition which is obtained by reacting together an inert particulate material, an organic magnesium compound, a halogen-containing compound such as carbon tetrachloride silicon tetrachloride or boron trichloride and a specified transition metal compound such as VOCl.sub.3, bis(n-butoxy) titanium dichloride or zirconium tetrabenzyl. The catalyst component obtained can be used, together with an organic metal compound, to give an olefin polymerization catalyst. The catalyst can be used to effect the polymerization of olefin monomers, for example, the copolymerization of ethylene with an alpha-olefin monomer such as butene-1 in a fluidized bed reactor.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 1981Date of Patent: May 24, 1983Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries LimitedInventors: Anthony D.
