[1F06] [Invited] Controlled polymerization of ethylene and conjugated dienes by transition metal catalysts.
Herein we report that metal catalysts supported on porous glass promote ethylene polymerization. The polymerization reaction is considered to take place inside the pore predominantly, and affords ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene on the glass surface. Ethylene polymerization by silver catalysts having NHC ligands will be also presented. Rare earth amides in combination with pyridine derivatives enable cis-1,4-selective polymerization of isoprene.
Keywords:polyethylene, polyisoprene, transition metal catalysts
