“…A similar drop in the activity was reported using similar catalytic systems . The decrease by a factor of 10 in the polymer molecular weight is due to termination transfer reactions promoted by the presence of the comonomer . This phenomenon has been previously observed in the copolymerization of either linear or cyclic olefin comonomers .…”

“…The ''comonomer effect'' is a curious phenomenon in which the rate of ethylene polymerization is significantly enhanced by the addition of a small amount of α-olefin comonomer, while decreases as the comonomer content in monomer feed increases from an optimum amount. [39,40] On the other hand, the presence of comonomer lowered the activity of catalyst C-M slightly, from 190 to 185 kg Poly/g Ti•h, suggesting that the insertion of ethylene was interrupted in this catalyst due to high mole percent of 1-hexene in monomer feed. [39,41] The copolymers obtained were characterized and the results listed in Table 6, which collects melting point, percentage of crystalline polymer X c , and comonomer content.…”

“…In general, the relation between the concentration of comonomer in the reactor and its final incorporation in the main polymer chain is well known,36 and in this way it was possible to obtain several comonomer incorporations. The lower syndiotacticity found in copolymers had been explained by the increase in skipped insertions or site epimerization37 when comonomer units are incorporated in the main chain because of the lower rate of olefin insertion 25, 36. The DSC measurements of these copolymers are shown in Figures 6 and 7 for cooling and heating scans, respectively.…”
