Polymerization of olefins in the presence of polymer supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts
A process is described for polymerizing one or more ..cap alpha..-olefins or one or more ..cap alpha..-olefins and one or more polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers. The process comprises conducting the polymerization under Ziegler polymerization conditions in the presence of an organoaluminum cocatalyst and a polymer supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst resulting from contacting for a time sufficient to form a compound or a complex, (A) (1) at least one organic polymeric material to which has been covalently bonded (2) one or more dihydric phenolic compounds; which has been prepared by reacting a halogenated organic polymeric material with the dihydric phenolic compound; with (B) at least one compound of an element from the transition metal, lanthanide or actinide series represented by the formula Tm(OR)/sub x/X/sub y-x/. Each R is independently a hydrocarbyl group having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms; Tm is an element from the transition metal, lanthanide or actinide series; X is a halogen; x has a value from zero to a value equal to the valence of the element Tm and y has a value equal to the valence of the element Tm; and wherein components (A-1) and (A-2) are employed in amounts which provides a ratio of moles of (A-2) per halogen atom contained in a halogenated component (A-1) of from about 1:1 to about 30:1. Components (A) and (B) are employed in an amount which provides a ratio of moles of polyhydric aromatic compound per atom of Tm of from about 1:1 to about 10:1.
