value). The derived reactivity ratio for butene, i.e., the reciprocal of the slope, 0.51, is quite reasonable in comparison with the literature value of 0.50 (28) reported for a related catalyst system, Et3A1/TiC13. However, much more data would be required for a satisfactory measure of this parameter.These materials were then used in the heated cell infrared method of Tosi et al. (8). The absorbances were recorded together with those obtained for a number of blends of polybutene and polypropylene homopolymers. The blends and the standards generate two different lines (Equations 4 and 5 respectively) which, by t test, have significantly different slopes (t = 2.10; t0.06, 16 = 2.12). Thus, calibrated standards are necessary to carry out the method accurately. Presumably, this is the reason that blends were not used in earlier work on the infrared methods. y(absorbance ratio) = 1.015~ (molar ratio P/B) A nonllnear least-squares curve-fit Is used to determlne the equivalence polnt In spectrophotometrlc tltratlons.
