Description

Branched polyolefin and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to polyolefin in the technical field of high polymer materials, and particularly relates to branched polyolefin and an oxidation-reduction regulation preparation method thereof.
Background
With the continuous development of the polyolefin industry, the demand of people for polyolefin materials with diversified properties is also increasing. Among these, the realization of controlled preparation of polyolefin products is naturally a major concern of researchers. However, the main control means at present focus on the adjustment of the catalyst ligand or the control of the external reaction conditions of the polymerization reaction. And the polymerization performance of the nickel catalyst is regulated and controlled by means of a chemical auxiliary agent. Early researchers proposed the concept of redox control, and then, by adjusting the electron density of the active center of the rhodium complex, the hydrogenation rate of cyclohexene by the reduced rhodium complex was increased by 16 times compared with the ground state. The oxidant is also utilized to realize the change of the metallic valence state of the ferrocene serving as the ligand of the titanium catalyst, realize the adjustment of the selectivity of the catalyst and really realize the regulation and control of the polymer chain structure through the redox switch. In recent years, researchers have also focused on the control of the redox of nickel diimine catalysts to achieve a chain structure that is not involved in olefin polymerization. Thereby realizing the controllable preparation of the polyolefin product.
The nickel perylene diimine catalyst controlled by redox 'on-off' has important significance on the controllable preparation of high-end polyolefin products. It can regulate and control the catalytic performance of catalyst by regulating the valence state of active metal center and eliminate the dependence on external reaction condition. In addition to the regulation and control of catalytic performance by using the reducer dicyclopentadiene reduced nickel catalyst to adjust the offset of the charge of the metal active center of the nickel perylene diimine catalyst (BIAN) in situ, researchers creatively realize the redox regulation and control of a polyethylene chain structure by using a photochemical control method. In the course of the study of the redox control of the nickel naphthalimide catalyst Cat B. Cobaltocene is widely used as a good reducing agent. Subsequent researches find that the silver trifluoromethanesulfonate serving as a corresponding oxidizing agent can be easily switched between an oxidation state and a reduction state of a target substance with a reducing agent cobaltocene. However, no report is found in the related research on the performance change of ethylene homopolymerization or ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization catalyzed by a catalytic system after adding silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, which is an oxidant, into a cobalt-cobaltocene reduction and naphthalocyanine diimine nickel catalyst reduction system.
