Abstract
AbstractThe behaviour in propylene polymerization of catalysts containing ethyl benzoate/methyl p‐toluate (EB/MPT) or dibutyl phthalate/triethoxy(phenyl)silane (DBP/EPS) as internal/external donor pairs was investigated. Comparing catalyst composition with performance, it appears that no qualitative difference exists in the role of MPT and EPS, both acting as poisons of atactic sites and activators of isotactic sites. A higher efficiency of EPS is evident. On the contrary, a difference can be found between the internal donors EB and DBP/DBP seems not directly involved in the formation of isotactic centers as EB. These results, though obtained under conditions leading to much lower activities than usual for the catalysts considered, can be assumed to describe the general behaviour of the donor pairs investigated when the polymerization is carried out in the absence of hydrogen.
