Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a supported catalyst and to the use of this catalyst in a process for the polymerization of alpha-olefins. The catalyst comprises a transition metal complex supported on an interpolymer comprising an alpha, beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, anhydride or lower alkyl ester thereof, and one or more monomers copolymerizable therewith which has been treated with a Group IIA halide or alkyl halide. Preferred supports comprise maleic anhydride copolymers which have been treated with a magnesium compound.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
48 words
A catalyst comprising a Ziegler-type transition metal complex and a non-rubber support which has been treated with a Group IIA metal halide or Group IIA metal alkyl halide, the support comprising an interpolymer of an alpha, beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, anhydride or ester thereof and a monomer copolymerizable therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
48 words
A catalyst comprising a Ziegler-type transition metal complex and a non-rubber support which has been treated with a Group IIA metal halide or Group IIA metal alkyl halide, the support comprising an interpolymer of an alpha, beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, anhydride or ester thereof and a monomer copolymerizable therewith.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
