Multiple active sites model of ethylene polymerization with the Cp2ZrCl2-aluminoxanes catalytic system
The kinetics of ethylene polymerization catalyzed by Cp2ZrCl2-different aluminoxanes was studied. More than one type of active site was presented in the polymerization reaction based on an analysis of the GPC curves. A multiple active sites kinetic model (MSmodel) was proposed, Good agreements in polymerization rate and variation of polydispersity were achieved for fitting the kinetic profiles with the MSmodel.
