Abstrakt: The article presents a study which developed an analytical model to predict the onset of gel formation in olefin-diene copolymerizations catalyzed by constrained-geometry complexes which rely on three kinetic parameters to characterize the catalyst response. The model was validated by continuous runs in a small industrial reactor. Results indicate that the free double bonds in 1,9-decadiene are as reactive as those found in 1-octene and the model predictions of polymer properties agree well with chromatographic, density, and mass-balance data.
