[资源] Polyolefis 50 years after Ziegler and Natta.

PREFACE
Fifty years after the Nobel Prize was awarded to Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta in
1963, the polymerization of olefins by metallorganic catalysts has grown to one of
the most fascinating areas in academic and industrial polymer science and now has
the largest use in polymer production. Ziegler had discovered 10 years earlier that a
mixture of transition metal compounds, especially titanium chlorides and aluminum
alkyls, was able to polymerize ethene by an insertion reaction. This spectacular
milestone was expanded a year later when Natta prepared and characterized
isotactic polypropylene and introduced stereospecific polymerization. In contrast
to the high-pressure ethene polymerization invented in 1935 by ICI (Imperial
Chemical Industries, Great Britain), the catalyzed olefin polymerization requires
only low pressure and low temperature.
Today, more than 130 million tons of polyolefins are produced worldwide per
year, the major part with the help of Ziegler–Natta catalysts. Polyolefins have
changed the world! They are not only the polymers with the highest production
volume, but they also show an unbroken production increase. Containing only
carbon and hydrogen atoms, polyolefins are sustainable materials, light in weight,
and offer a wide variety of properties. The production requires only easily available
and nontoxic monomers and proceeds with almost no losses or side reactions. After
their end of use, polyolefins can easily be recycled through mechanical procedures
to simple articles, by pyrolysis to gas and oil, or by incineration to energy.
In recent decades, new generations of catalysts with higher activities and
stereospecificities and modern production processes have been invented to produce
a great variety of polyolefins ranging from high density polyethylene (HDPE) to
linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), high melting polypropylene, high modulus
polyolefin fibers, ethene–propene rubber (EPR), ethene–propene–diene monomer
rubber (EPDM). The chromium-based Phillips catalysts opened the field of gas
phase polymerization for HDPE. New supported Ziegler–Natta catalysts make it
possible to increase the activity, to control the morphology, and for polypropylene
to increase the isotacticity by adding different kinds of donors.
A great development in this research field was the discovery of metallocene and
other transition metal complexes activated by methylaluminoxane. These catalystsare up to 10 times more active than Ziegler–Natta catalysts, are soluble in hydrocarbons,
show only one type of active site (single site catalysts), and can easily be
modified in their chemical structure. These properties make it possible to predict the
properties of the resulting polyolefins very accurately from the knowledge of the
structure of the catalyst, and thus to control molecular weight and distribution,
comonomer content, and tacticity by careful selection of the appropriate reactor
conditions. The single site character of metallocene-based catalysts leads to a better
understanding of the mechanism of olefin polymerization and to the introduction of
other bulky cocatalysts.
The different chapters in this book deal with the development of olefin polymerization
50 years after the pioneering work of Ziegler and Natta. Academic and
industrial developments of ethene and propene polymerizations are presented,
including short biographies of Ziegler and Natta, research on Phillips catalysts,
kinetic and active site measurements, and polyolefin characterization. Review
chapters also describe the latest results of olefin homo-, living-, and copolymerizations
by metallocene and other single site catalysts, such as the synthesis of ansa
metallocenes, supported iron catalysts, syndiotactic polypropylene, long chain
branched polyolefins, and cyclic and functional copolymers. Remarkable progress
has been achieved in the synthesis of polyolefin nanocomposites by an in-situ
polymerization process using clay, layered silicates, carbon fibers, and carbon
nanotubes as fillers.
