Study on Solution Polymerization of 1-Butene Catalyzed by Metallocene in a Microchannel Reactor
Solution homopolymerization of 1-butene was performed in a microchannel reactor constructed of 1/8-inch stainless steel tube,using rac-Me2Si(2,5-Me2-4-Ph-ThCp)2ZrC12 metallocene as the main catalyst,methylaluminoxane(MAO)as the cocatalyst,and xylene as the solution.In this study,continuous polymerization of 1-butene was achieved in the microchannel reactor,and the structure and properties of the polybutylenes were characterized.
