Abstract

Homopolymerization of octadecene-1 at different reaction conditions has been studied. Significant chain running can be seen at higher polymerization temperatures. Interestingly, insertion of octadecene-1 into a sterically hindered nickel-cation/carbon (secondary) bond is observed. The microstructure of the polymer was established using NMR spectroscopy. The effects of chain running on polymer melting, crystallization behavior, and dynamic mechanical thermal properties were studied using DSC and DMTA. The extent of chain running (i.e., 2,ω-, 1,ω-enchainments) decreases with an increase in the carbon number of α-olefins.
