Ethylene polymerization using metallocene catalyst supported on hybrid indenyl silica produced by sol-gel process

- Hybrid silica containing indenyl groups was prepared by the sol-gel process.
- The polymerization reaction time was correlated with the materials properties.
- The nature of the catalyst was correlated with the materials properties.
- Hybrid silica reacted with ZrCl4·2THF ledding to supported metallocenic catalysts.
- Ethylene reactions were performed at various reaction temperatures and Al/Zr.
