Syndiotactic Polypropylene and its Copolymers with Alpha-Olefins. Effects of Composition and Length of Comonomer

Abstract

A set of copolymers of propene and alpha olefins (1-hexene, 1-octene and 1-octadecene) and the corresponding homopolymer (sPP) have been synthesized using a syndiotactic metallocene catalyst. The effect of either the incorporation or length of these conom
