Preparation of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene
A process for making an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is disclosed. The process is performed with a supported quinolinoxy-containing single-site catalyst in the presence of a non-alumoxane activator, but in the absence of an &agr;-olefin, an aromatic solvent, and hydrogen. The process significantly increases the catalyst activity and the UHMWPE produced has improved tensile and impact properties.
