Abstract

Using a mixture of dinuclear hexamethyltrisiloxanediylbis(cyclopentadienyltitanium trichloride), Cl3Ti-CpSi(CH3)2-O-Si(CH3) 2-O-Si(CH3)2Cp-TiCl3 and mononuclear cyclopentadienyltitanium trichloride (CpTiCl3), pentamethylcyclopentadienyltitanium trichloride (Cp*TiCl3) with the modified methylaluminoxane cocatalyst in styrene polymerization, the syndiotactic polystyrene having bimodal molecular weight distribution was obtained. The polydispersity index of the obtained polystyrene could be controlled by the relative concentrations of the two or three titanocenes.
