Abstract
Performance enhancement of metallocene-based olefin polymerization catalysts can be obtained, among others, by the chemical modification of their support. We investigated a titanated SiO2 (Ti/SiO2) as an improved support material for zirconocene catalysts, which lead to ∼35 % higher ethylene polymerization yields when compared to the unmodified SiO2-supported metallocene. The
