Another common descriptor for a resin is the polydispersity or MWD. The MWD is the ratio of Mw to Mn (Eq. 5). 5) The resin MWD depends on how it is produced; that is, the catalyst type, reactor conditions, etc. 5 for single reactor polymers. Bimodal polymers (produced using multiple reactors) have up to 20 MWD. MWD of single-site catalyzed polyethylenes is typically from 2 to 3. Polyethylene resins have molecular structures shown in Fig. 9. The most common polymer structure is linear (Fig. 9a), where the repeating units are connected one after another.
Rapidly quenched isotactic polypropylene has a fourth crystalline form. The rapid cooling prevents large crystalline domains from forming. Therefore the crystalline regions are small with poor alignment between the individual crystallites. The smectic crystalline polypropylene properties lie between alpha crystalline and atactic polypropylene. The polymer will be transparent and will revert to an alpha crystalline structure upon heating. The crystallinity and crystallite orientation in a mesomorphic polypropylene can be affected both by the cooling rate and by subsequent annealing.
The gas-phase monomer then can be condensed and reintroduced to the reactor. As in the slurry process, high-molecular-weight polypropylene forms an insoluble phase in the condensed monomer. This insoluble phase contains both the atactic and isotactic fractions which are isolated from the liquid propylene at the same time. A second separation step removes the solventsoluble atactic fraction by using an appropriate organic solvent resulting in a pure isotactic polypropylene product (Fig. 6). 6 A solution containing the liquid monomer and catalyst allows polymerization to occur around the dispersed catalyst.
