Solid methylaluminoxane (MAO) supports for pentalene complexes

Applications: Polymers, Plastics, Catalysts, Polyethylene, Detergents, Synthetic Lubricants

Oxford scientists have developed novel compositions that act as effective solid catalysts in the polymerisation of olefins.

Features	Benefits
Permethylpentalene (Pn*) based metallocene complexes supported on solid methylaluminoxane (MAO).	Effective solid catalysts in the polymerisation of olefins. Particularly effective for slurry phase polymerisation and for homopolymerisation of ethylene.
Catalyst enables effective and efficient polymerisation.	Insoluble in hydrocarbon solvent. Acts as a heterogeneous support system. No need for an additional activator. No other solid supports.
Broad application beyond single olefins.	Capable of use with multiple olefins at once. Opportunities for copolymerisation of ethylene and another olefins.
