Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a homogeneous catalytic system for use in preparing an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin, and more particularly a Group 4 transition metal compound in which a cyclopentadienyl derivative 3,4-positions of which are substituted with alkyls and an electron-donating substituent are crosslinked around a Group 4 transition metal. Also provided is a method of preparing an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin, having high molecular weight, under high-temperature solution polymerization conditions using the catalytic system including such a transition metal compound and a co-catalyst composed of an aluminum compound, a boron compound or a mixture thereof. The catalyst according to present invention has high thermal stability and enables the incorporation of α-olefin, and is thus effective in preparing an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin, having various properties, in industrial polymerization processes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed are: 1. A method of preparing an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin having a weight average molecular weight of 80,000 to 500,000 and a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) of 1.5 to 4.1 using a transition metal catalyst composition represented by Chemical Formula 1 below, wherein a density of the copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin is 0.850 to 0.940 g/cc:…
