Living copolymerization of ethylene/1‐octene with fluorinated FI‐Ti catalyst

Abstract Living copolymerization of ethylene and 1‐octene was carried out at room temperature using the fluorinated FI‐Ti catalyst system, bis[ N ‐(3‐methylsalicylidene)‐2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluoroanilinato] TiCl 2 /dried methylaluminoxane, with various 1‐octene concentrations. The comonomer incorporation up to 32.7 mol % was achieved at the 1‐octene feeding ratio of 0.953. The living feature still retained at such a high comonomer level. The …
