Popis: Polyethylene (PE) particles are produced by a catalyst prepared by contacting a (C 4 H 9 Cp) 2 -ZrCl 2 /MAO pre-mixing solution with SiO 2 support. These particles have a large granular size and very few fine particles compared with those derived from a catalyst prepared by adsorption of (C 4 H 9 Cp) 2 ZrCl 2 onto methyaluminoxane modified SiO 2 . The amount of Al in the pre-mixing catalyst size distributiuon. The optimal concentration is about 30 wt.-%. The PE particles produced using a pre-mixing catalyst consist of globules with randomly oriented fiber structure on the surface, whereas those produced using adsorption catalysts have worm-like fibrils protruding from the PE globule surface.
