Active Site Identification and Mathematical Modeling of Polypropylene Made with Ziegler Natta Catalyst
Alshaiban, Ahmad (University of Waterloo, 2008-09-25)Heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts are responsible for most of the industrial production of polyethylene and polypropylene. A unique feature of these catalysts is the presence of more than one active site type, leading ... -
Propylene Polymerization Using 4th Generation Ziegler-Natta Catalysts: Polymerization Kinetics and Polymer Microstructural Investigation
Alshaiban, Ahmad (University of Waterloo, 2011-08-11)A systematic study of propylene polymerization using a 4th generation Ziegler-Natta catalyst is presented in this thesis. The apparent kinetic rate constants for propylene polymerization were estimated in the presence and ...
