Abstract Since 1963, when Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta were jointly awarded the Nobel
Prize for their discoveries of the catalytic polymerization of olefins with Ti-chlorides and Al …

Since polypropylene was synthesized in 1954, tremendous breakthroughs have been
achieved in transferring polypropylene from a discovery in the laboratory to an …

The objective of this review is the analysis and comment of recent publication results (from
July 2010 until February 2017) obtained for selective ethylene oligomerization toward 1 …

Heterogeneous Ziegler–Natta and Phillips-type olefin polymerization catalysts have the
monopoly of isotactic polypropylene production and a large share in the market of high …

In this paper, the results of adding SiCl4 (as a model inorganic halide) to the formulation of
an industrially well-known Ziegler–Natta catalyst (ZNC) have been investigated to shed light …

Due to the many risks of using chlorinated alkylaluminum cocatalysts (CACs), reducing or
omitting their amount in methods used for synthesizing Ziegler–Natta catalysts (ZNCs) has …

In this study, density functional theory (DFT) molecular modeling studies were performed to
explore mechanisms underlying the interactions of cocatalysts in Ziegler–Natta olefin …

Adsorption of different poison molecules on activated MgCl 2 is investigated within DFT
using a cluster model of the MgCl 2 surface with (MgCl 2) 16 formula containing four 4 …

A three-metallic high-performance heterogeneous Ziegler–Natta-type catalyst for
polymerization of ethylene was synthesized using titanium tetrachloride as the active center …

Seven Mg (OEt) 2/FeCl3/SiCl4/TiCl4 type procatalysts supported on Mg (OEt) 2/FeCl3
