Abstract
We have designed and constructed a device, the rapid flow mixer (RFM), for investigating the kinetics of metallocene-catalyzed alkene polymerization reactions. The RFM operates over a wide range of reaction conditions (temperatures from −40 to 150 °C and pressures up to 500 psi) and has wetted components constructed from inert materials (stainless steel, Kalrez™, Teflon™). The closed system design and interface to an inert atmosphere glove box facilitates the handling of air and moisture sensitive reagents. Total reaction volumes per run may range from 750 μL to 15 mL. The drive assembly is interfaced to a personal computer that provides user control of reaction times and flow rates. Total reaction times span a range of ∼10 ms to >10 min.
