Polymerization in vapor phase with complex metal catalysts

Claim 1

IN A METHOD FOR MAKING HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYMERIC PRODUCTS BY POLYMERIZING A POLYMERIZABLE ORGANIC MATERIAL IN CONTACT WITH A COMPLEX ORGANO-METAL CATALYST FORMED BY ADMIXING A VAPORIZABLE ALKYLALUMINUM COMPOUND AND A VAPORIZABLE COMPOUND OF A HEAVIER METAL SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF THE METALS OF GROUPS IV-B, V-B, AND VI-B OF THE PERIODIC SYSTEM OF THE ELEMENTS, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES FORMING AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE VAPOROUS COMPOSITIONS, EACH OF WHICH CONTAINS A PART ONLY OF THE COMPONENTS NECESSARY FOR THE POLYMERIZATION REACTION MIXTURE, ONE OF WHICH VAPOROUS COMPOSITIONS CONTAINS ONE ONLY OF THE VAPORIZABLE CATALYST-FORMING STARTING MATERIALS, ANOTHER OF WHICH VAPOROUS COMPOSITIONS CONTAINS THE OTHER ONLY OF THE VAPORIZABLE CATALYST-FORMING STARTING MATERIALS, AT LEAST ONE OF THE VAPOROUS COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING A POLYMERIZABLE ORGANIC MATERIALS, AND ADMIXING THE SEVERAL VAPOROUS COMPOSITIONS, WHEREBY A COMPLEX ORGANO-METAL CATALYST IS GENERATED IN SITU AND POLYMERIZATION OF THE POLYMERIZABLE ORGANIC MATERIAL IS EFFECTED.
