Synthesis and characterization of solid polymethylaluminoxane: A bifunctional activator and support for slurry-phase ethylene polymerization

An insoluble form of methylaluminoxane, also known as solid polymethylaluminoxane (sMAO), has been synthesized by the controlled hydrolysis of trimethylaluminum (TMA) with benzoic acid, followed by thermolysis. Characterization of sMAO by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy in solution and the solid state...
