Blends of poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) and polyethylene, either linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene (MPE), that were prepared by melt blending, were investigated. From the rheological properties as determined by capillary rheometry, the melt viscosity of both PPS/LLDPE and PPS/MPE blends was low when PE was in dispersed phase, but high melt viscosity was observed for both blends with PPS in dispersed phase. Significant differences depending on the composition were found in the mechanical properties such as percent elongation at break and notched Izod impact strength. In addition, dispersed phase morphology of the blends was analyzed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), together with brief discussion about the difference between them.

Bis(silyl)alkylbenzenes such as bis(1-sila-sec-butyl)benzene (1) and 2-phenyl-1,3-disilapropane (2) were prepared in high yields by reduction of the corresponding chlorosilanes with LiAlH4. The dehydropolymerization of 1 and 2 was carried out with group 4 metallocene complexes generated in situ from Cp2MCl2/Red-Al and Cp2MCl2/n-BuLi (M=Ti, Hf), producing two phases of polymers. The TGA residue yields of the insoluble polymers were in the range of 64-74%. The molecular weights of the soluble polymers produced ranged from 700 to 5000 (Mw vs polystyrene) and from 500 to 900 (Mn vs polystyrene). The dehydropolymerization of 1 and 2 seemed to initially produce a low-molecular-weight polymer, which then underwent an extensive cross-linking reaction of backbone Si-H bonds, leading to an insoluble polymer.

Novel flexible terpolymers with a reactive moiety were synthesized by coordination polymerization with a metallocene catalyst and a cocatalyst system. C2-symmetric rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2 and tri-iso-butylaluminum/dimethylanilinium tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) borate were employed as the catalyst and cocatalyst, respectively. We synthesized reactive terpolymers consisting of ethylene, a high α-olefin content (1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, and 1-dodecene), and divinylbenzene. The structure and composition of the terpolymers were characterized by 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The catalytic activity, polymer yield, molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution were measured as functions of the chain length and high content of α-olefins. Furthermore, the thermal properties and crystallinity of the terpolymers were determined by differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle X-ray scattering.

We synthesized ethylene-styrene copolymer by coordination polymerization using 2 types of pyrazolato metallocene catalysts ((1,2,4-Me₃C₅H₄)TiCl₂(3,5-iPr₂C₃HN₂), (tert-BuC₅H₄) TiCl₂(3,5-iPr₂C₃HN₂)). We observed the effects of styrene concentration on the catalytic activity, yield, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution.

In this study, we prepared poly(ethylene-ter-1-hexene-ter-divinylbenzene) using briged rac-$Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2$ or unbriged $Cp_2ZrCl_2$ metallocene catalysts. Bridged rac-$Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2$ catalyst showed relatively good results compared with unbridged one. When cocatalyst/catalyst molar ratio was 3000, catalytic activity indicated more than 8000(kg of polymer/$mol{\cdot}h$) which was very remarkable value. As a polymerization time increased, the weight-average molecular weight of the terpolymer gradually increased to some degree. In the case of a polymerization time of 50 minutes, the state of the terpolymer became amorphous. The range of the weight-average molecular weight and the densities of the terpolymer was 110,000~200,000 and $0.85{\sim}0.89g/cm^3$, respectively. The thermal properties and the structure of the terpolymer were also identified.
