ABSTRACT:
Methods for modulated degenerative transfer living polymerization and isotactic-atactic stereoblock and stereogradient poly(olefins) thereby Abstract A method of producing a multiblock, stereoblock polyolefin having substantially uniform microstructure is disclosed. The method includes contacting a Ziegler-Natta pre-catalyst with a co-catalyst and an olefin to polymerize the olefin and form a first stereoblock, adding a methyl donator that changes the stereoregularity of the polymerization, and polymerizing the olefin to form a second stereoblock. The methods of the present invention allow for the production of poly(olefin)s having predictable degrees of incorporation of stereoerrors of a known type. The methods allows for the production of a variety of poly(olefin) microstructures, ranging from stereoblock to stereogradient poly(olefin)s and poly(olefin)s having fully isotactic to fully atactic microstructures.
