Synthesis of Ethylene-Propylene Copolymer and their Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work reports copolymerization of ethylene-propylene (EP) using a novel phenoxy–ester ligated titanium catalyst. Copolymerization reactions were conducted in toluene at 70 °C with varied E/P flow ratios. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry analysis were performed to characterize the structures, compositions and glass transition temperatures of the copolymers. The results show that ethylene-propylene copolymers are random polymers and the link ratios of ethylene to propylene are between 0.89 and 1.26. The glass transition temperature of ethylene-propylene copolymer is-43.3 °C.
