Abstract: | The activity of Ti(OEt)4 (Et: C2H5) in combination with methylaluminoxane (MAO) in the syndiospecific polymerization of styrene was investigated concenrning the dependence on temperature, mole ratio of Al/Ti, concentrations of monomer, catalyst and MAO. Reaction products of Ti(OEt)4 and erythritol and sorbitol, respectively, were also used in the syndiospecific polymerization of styrene revealing that soluble Ti compounds are the active species. |
