Abstract

Bisupported catalyst for ethylene polymerization was prepared by mixing alcohol solution of MgCl2 with pretreated SiO2 in heptane, and further treating with bis(4-(4-amine-3,5-diisopropylbenzyl)-2,6-diisopropylphenylimino) acenaphtheneNiBr2 (abbreviated as NiLBr2) solution. The bisupported catalyst could be used to polymerize ethylene with high activity using alkylaluminum halides as inexpensive cocatalysts. According to high-temperature GPC, the weight-average molecular weights of the polymers obtained ranged from 2.15 × 105 to 9.27 × 105, with molecular weight distributions of 3.12–4.23. By adjusting the polymerization temperatures, the products with good morphologies could be obtained. The resultant polyethylenes were confirmed by 13C-NMR to contain significant amounts not only of methyl but also of ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, and longer side chains (longer than six carbons).
