Density functional theory (DFT) is employed to investigate the promotion of B(C6F5)3 as a ligand for titanium (or vanadium) catalysts in ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization reactions. The results reveal that (I) Ethylene insertion into TiB (with B(C6F5)3 as a ligand ) is preferred over TiH, both thermodynamically and kinetically. (II) In TiH and TiB catalysts, the 2,1 insertion reaction (TiH21 and TiB21) is the primary pathway for 1-hexene insertion. Furthermore, the 1-hexene insertion reaction for TiB21 is favored over TiH21 and is easier to perform. Consequently, the entire ethylene and 1-hexene insertion reaction proceeds smoothly using the TiB catalyst to yield the final product. (III) Analogous to the Ti catalyst case, VB (with B(C6F5)3 as a ligand) is preferred over VH for the entire ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization reaction. Moreover, VB exhibits higher reaction activity than TiB, thus agreeing with experimental results. Additionally, the electron localization function and global reactivity index analysis indicate that titanium (or vanadium) catalysts with B(C6F5)3 as a ligand exhibit higher reactivity. Investigating the promotion of B(C6F5)3 as a ligand for titanium (or vanadium) catalysts in ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization reactions will aid in designing novel catalysts and lead to more cost-effective polymerization production methods.

“…The preparation of various UHMWPEs and its blends by transition metal synthesis is also still progressing, and a development of a grade for 3D printing seems timely. [40][41][42][43][44][45] The aim of this study is to provide advanced UHMWPE composite powders with the option to prepare superior UHMWPE parts by laser sintering. A facile route to UHMWPE built parts seemed to use core-shell particles in form of HDPE@UHMWPE as starting point.…”

Commercial UHMWPE powder of 60 μm size (d50) embossed with 2-5 wt% of nanosilica is used as a support for the preparation of core-shell HDPE@silica@UHMWPE particles. The HDPE shell is generated by polymerization of ethylene in toluene slurry after treatment of the silica@UHMWPE with a methyl aluminoxane activated bisimine pyridine iron complex. Heat pressing the powder gives a solid material with identifiable original UHMWPE particles and a layer from fusion of UHMWPE and the surrounding HDPE shell; the properties match those of the UHMWPE base material. The powder flow properties of the HDPE@silica@UHMWPE are insufficient for a powder bed fusion process, a value for the flow function between 2 and 3 is measured in a ring shear tester. Additivation with nanosilica helps to overcome the insufficient flowability and allows the material to be recoated in a power bed fusion system. Laser sintering gives evidence for a substantial mixing and welding of the HDPE shells and UHMWPE. Caking at the surface of the built parts hinders the manufacturing of isolated parts. Further additivation with carbon black reduces the caking; however, the welding within the HDPE@silica@UHMWPE material is much less strong.
