The supported complexes result in highly active catalysts when treated with different aluminum alkyl-based co-catalysts. These catalysts are able of tuning the final properties of the produced polyethylenes. Mixed composites of metallocenes and conventional Ziegler-Natta catalysts supported on the same carrier were also studied. A supported zirconocene Cp2Zr(η1-OC(O)C6H5)2 on MgCl2/SiCl4−n (n-C6H13O)n resulted in a highly active catalyst that eject control on the molecular weight, crystallinity and morphology of the resultant polyethylene.", pages = "507-516(10)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/vsp/dmp/2007/00000010/00000006/art00003" doi = "doi:10.1163/156855507782401187" }
