Abstract

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.

다리 구조 또는 비다리 구조의 메탈로센 촉매를 이용하여 새로운 구조의 poly(ethylene-ter-1-hexeneter-divinylbenzene) 삼원공중합체를 제조하였다. 다리구조의 rac-$Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2$ 촉매가 비다리구조의 $Cp_2ZrCl_2$ 촉매보다 상대적으로 양호한 결과를 보여 주었다. 특히 조촉매/촉매 몰비가 3000일 때 촉매활성도는 8000(kg of polymer/$mol{\cdot}h$)이 넘는 매우 높은 수준의 활성도를 보여주었다. 또한, 중합 시간에 따라 중량 평균 분자량이 일정수준까지 점차 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, 중합시간이 50분일 때 무정형 상태를 나타내었다. 삼원공중합체의 중량평균 분자량은 110,000~200,000, 밀도는 $0.85{\sim}0.89g/cm^3$ 수준이었다. 또한, 삼원 공중합체의 열적 성질과 구조를 확인하였다.
