Abstract
Abstract Stereoblock polymers of 1-olefins having a broad uni-, bi-, tri- or multimodal molecular weight distribution are obtained when a catalyst which comprises a chiral metallocene containing bridges and an alumoxane is used for the polymerization of the 1-olefins. The polymers are particularly highly suitable for the production of transparent films.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A process for the preparation of a 1-olefin stereoblock polymer through polymerization of a 1-olefin of the formula R-CH═CH 2 in which R is an alkyl group having 1 to 28 carbon atoms, at a temperature of -60° to 100° C., at a pressure of 0.5 to 60 bar, in solution, in suspension or in the gas phase, in the presence of a catalyst which comprises metallocene compound and an alumoxane, the metallocene compound being tetramethylethylene-bis(cyclopentadienyl)-titanium dichloride, and the alumoxane being a compound of the formula II Al.sub.2 OR.sub.4 .sup.7 --[--Al(R.sup.7)--O--].sub.n -- (II) for the linear type or of the formula (III) --[--Al(R.sup.7 --O --]--.sub.n+2 for the cyclic type, or combinations thereof, and where, in the formulae II and III, R 7 denotes methyl, ethyl, or isobutyl, and n is an integer from 4 to 20.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
