Structural analysis of polyethene prepared with rac‐dimethylsilylbis(indenyl)zirconium dichloride/methylaluminoxane in a high‐temperature, continuously stirred tank reactor

Abstract A study of ethene solution polymerization with the rac ‐dimethylsilylbis(indenyl)‐zirconium dichloride/methylaluminoxane catalyst system in a high‐temperature (140 °C), continuously stirred tank reactor system was carried out. 13 C NMR, gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared, and rheological measurements were used for polymer analyses. Polyethylenes with low molecular weights (weight‐average molecular weight ≈ 35–55 …
