Propylene → Decane

Participants

Reaction Steps

400 ml purified decane was introduced into a glass autoclave with an internal volume of 500 ml purged sufficiently with nitrogen, and the liquid phase and gaseous phase were saturated by blowing 100 liters/h propylene. Thereafter, 10 mmol triethyl aluminum, 1.0 mmol cyclohexyl methyl dimethoxy silane, and the solid titanium component (a) in an amount of 0.2 mmol in terms of titanium atom were added in this order. The mixture was polymerized at 100° C. for 2 hours while the flow rate of propylene was regulated such that the unreacted gas was not leaked out through a bubbler tube connected a purge line and the inside of the reactor was not under reduced pressure. Then, the propylene gas was replaced by a nitrogen gas with which the unreacted propylene gas was purged to terminate the reaction, to give decane slurry containing polypropylene modified at the terminal thereof.
