[0126] Test method Gel permeation chromatography (conventional type) The chromatography system is equipped with an internal IR5 infrared detector (IR5) Poly High-temperature GPC chromatography of merChar GPC-IR (Valencia, Spain) It consisted of a graph. Set the autosampler oven compartment to 160 degrees Celsius. The column compartment was set to 150 degrees Celsius. The column has four AGILEN T "Mixed A" was a 30cm, 20-micron linear mixed-bed column. Chromatography The solvent for the graphi is 200 ppm of butylated hydroxytoluene. It was 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene containing toluene (BHT). The solvent source was nitrogen. A spurged injection was performed. The injection volume used was 200 microliters, and the flow rate was 1. The flow rate was 0 milliliters / minute.
[0127] Calibration of the GPC column set with 2 molecular weights in the range of 580 to 8,400,000 This was carried out using a single polystyrene standard material with a narrow molecular weight distribution, and there were small differences between the individual molecular weights. The standard substance was placed in six "cocktail" mixtures with at least a 10-fold interval between them. Purchased from ilent Technologies. Molecular weight over 1,000,000. For the solvent, "0.025 grams in 50 milliliters" is less than 1,000,000. Regarding molecular weight, the concentration is "0.05 grams per 50 milliliters of solvent" for the polystyrene standard substance. The following was prepared: The polystyrene standard was dissolved at 80 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes with gentle stirring. The peak molecular weight of the polystyrene standard was converted to the polyethylene molecular weight using formula 1. (Williams and Ward, J. Polym. Sci., Polym) (As described in Let., 6, 621 (1968)). M ポリエチレン =A × (M ポリスチレン ) B (Formula 1) (In the formula, M is the molecular weight, A has a value of 0.4315, and B is equal to 1.0) ).
[0128] A quintic polynomial was used to fit each polyethylene equivalent calibration point. For A By making slight adjustments (approximately 0.375 to 0.445), the column resolution and band expansion effect are improved. The linear homopolymer polyethylene standard material was corrected so that it could be obtained at 120,000 Mw. The total plate count of the GPC column set was decanted (TCB "0 in 50 ml" The procedure was performed using a solution prepared with 0.04g and dissolved for 20 minutes while gently stirring.

[0134] To monitor deviations over time, the PolymerChar GPC-IR system is used. A flow marker (decane) was introduced into each sample via a controlled micropump. Flow rate markers (FM) are used to determine the respective decane peaks (RV) within the sample. (FM sample)) and the Decane peak within the narrow standard calibration (RV (FM calibrated)) By matching the RV (Reverse Voltage), the pump flow rate (apparent flow rate) of each sample is linearly compensated for. It was used to correct it. Then, any time change in the decan marker peak was used throughout the entire run. It was estimated that this is related to the linear shift of the flow rate (effective flow rate). To facilitate the highest accuracy of V measurement, a least squares fitting routine is used to measure the flow rate. The peaks of the concentration chromatogram were fitted to a quadratic equation. Next, the first-order derivative of the quadratic equation was obtained. The true peak position was determined using a function. The system was calibrated based on the flow marker peak. After that, the effective flow rate (with respect to the narrow standard calibration) was calculated as shown in Equation 7: Flow rate (effective) = Flow rate (apparent) * (RV(FM calibrated) / RV(FM sample))(Equation 7). Flow rate meter Kapeak processing is performed via PolymerChar GPCOne™ software. The process was carried out as follows: The acceptable flow rate correction is such that the effective flow rate is within + / - 0.7% of the apparent flow rate. It was meant to be.

[0162] II. Screening Catalysts PPR screening of Sc complexes (CAT B) against hard blocks. To demonstrate the feasibility of styrene polymerization activity and the chain-shutting ability of polymerization catalysts Therefore, a Parallel Pressure Reactor (PPR) system was adopted. The activity and molecular weight of a given styrene polymerization catalyst in relation to the amount of chain shuttling agent (CSA) added. The quantities were investigated. The chain shuttle agents examined were, respectively, polymethylalkyl zinc. Diethylzinc (DEZ) and as a model species or polymeric alkylaluminum species It was triethylaluminum (TEA). Al-Zn DHCSA was also used. PP The R screening conditions were as follows: [ISOPAR-E+MMAO-3A +T]+(styrene+CSA+"amines, bis(hydrogenated tallow alkyl)methyl, tetra Kiss(pentafluorophenyl)borate(1-) + catalyst). Catalyst input amount = 0.25 μL mole. MMAO-3A input amount = 5 μmole; T = 105°C, t = 15 min, [styrene] [H] = 2.1M (in toluene).

Figure 4 shows that CAT B undergoes styrene polymerization (CSA It shows high efficiency against (shi), and the catalytic activity is TEA (CSA = 25 μmole) The third circle from the top in CSA=100μmole and (4th circle) or Al-Zn DHCSA (CSA=25μmole, upper two circles) The effect of adding the circle (the upper two circles at CSA = 100 μmole) This demonstrates that it is not the case. In this particular study, catalytic activity was found to be in the presence of DEZ. It was low (two merged lower circles at CSA=25μmole, and CSA= (Two merged lower circles in 100 μmole). The data in Figure 5 shows the results after CSA addition. However, this has shown that it results in a decrease in molecular weight, and that the catalyst is effective in chain cycles. This indicates involvement in cattailing. Furthermore, Al-Zn DHCSA is CSA Two upper circles at =25 μmole and two upper circles at CSA=100 μmole It is represented by circles. TEA is two merged under CSA=25μmole It is represented by a square circle and two merged lower circles at CSA = 100 μmole. .

Furthermore, the polymerization of styrene by CAT B is shown in the presence of 1-octene. The tests were conducted under the following conditions: T=105℃, Catalyst input amount = 0.25 μmole, [styrene] = 2.1 M (in toluene), t = 15 min As shown in Table 1, catalytic activity and molecular weight are affected by the addition of 1-octene. However, this is because CAT B is transferred from the first reactor to the second reactor, and the residual alpha- This demonstrates compatibility with olefin monomers. This data shows that catalyst CAT B is compatible with the above-mentioned Demonstrate that the desired second reactor (R2) catalyst criteria (a) to c)) are met ("Invention" (See "Detailed explanation").
