PROCESS FOR PRODUCING POLYMERS OF ALKENES BY SUSPENSION POLYMERISATION

Polymers of alkenes are prepared by suspension polymerization in the presence of catalyst systems by a process in which the catalyst systems used are supported catalyst systems obtainable by A) reaction of an inorganic carrier with a metal compound of the general formula I M 1 (R 1 ) r (R 2 ) s (R 3...

Summary:Polymers of alkenes are prepared by suspension polymerization in the presence of catalyst systems by a process in which the catalyst systems used are supported catalyst systems obtainable by A) reaction of an inorganic carrier with a metal compound of the general formula I M 1 (R 1 ) r (R 2 ) s (R 3 ) t (R 4 ) u   I where M 1 is an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal or a metal of main group III or IV of the Periodic Table, R 1 is hydrogen, C 1 -C 10 -alkyl, C 6 -C 15 -aryl, alkylaryl or arylalkyl, each having 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and 6 to 20 carbon atoms in the aryl radical, R 2 to R 4 are each hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 10 -alkyl, C 6 -C 15 -aryl, alkylaryl, arylalkyl, alkoxy or dialkylamino, each having 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and 6 to 20 carbon atoms in the aryl radical, r is an integer from 1 to 4 and s, t and u are integers from 0 to 3, the sum r+s+t+u corresponding to the valency of M 1 , B) reaction of the material obtained according to A) with a metallocene complex in its metal dihalide form and a compound forming metallocenium ions and C) subsequent reaction with a metal compound of the general formula II  M 2 (R 5 ) o (R 6 ) p (R 7 ) q   II in which M 2 is an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal or a metal of main group III of the Periodic Table, R 5 is hydrogen, C 1 -C 10 -alkyl, C 6 -C 15 -aryl, alkylaryl or arylalkyl, each having 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and 6 to 20 carbon atoms in the aryl radical, R 6 and R 7 are each hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 10 -alkyl, C 6 -C 15 -aryl, alkylaryl, arylalkyl or alkoxy, each having 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and 6 to 20 carbon atoms in the aryl radical, o is an integer from 1 to 3 and p and q are integers from 0 to 2, the sum o+p+q corresponding to the valency of M 2 .
