Modified polymer compositions comprising elastomers blended with not more than 50 parts by weight of a crystalline polyolefin are prepared by reaction of the polymers with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or its acid anhydride. The modified composition optionally containing a filler, is particularly suitable for laminating to metals and other polymers; laminates show superior hot water resistance, salt water resistance and thermal shock resistance.

A supported titanium catalyst component is produced by cogrinding an organo aluminum catalyst component with a supported titanium (IV) halide on a magnesium halide. The resulting supported titanium halide catalyst component, when employed with an organo aluminum catalyst component to form a catalyst system is highly useful for the stereoregular polymerization of .alpha.-olefins as well as the copolymerization of .alpha.-olefins.

A supported titanium catalyst is produced by cogrinding, in combination, a magnesium halide, tetravalent titanium halide, organic acid ester, and a halogen compound selected from organic halogen compounds and halogen-containing compounds of Group IVa elements of the Periodic Table except carbon, and then treating the resulting titanium-containing solid with a hydrocarbon and/or a halogen compound as described above. The resulting supported titanium catalyst, when employed as a titanium component with an organo aluminum catalyst component for the catalyst system in a process for stereoregular polymerization of .alpha.-olefins results in unexpectedly high polymerization activity and high stereoregular polymer yielding ratios.

Modified polyolefin having high adhesion strength and less irritating odor during processing is obtained by reacting unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride grafted polyolefin with a bifunctional compound having alcohol groups or amine groups. Preferable unsaturated carboxylic acids are maleic acid, and endobicyclo-[2,2,1]-5-heptene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid. Preferable bifunctional compounds are ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, glycerine, ethylene diamine, 1,3-diaminopropane m-phenylene diamine, etc.

Process for the production of modified polyolefin

Spherical polyolefin (or modified polyolefin) powders having high bulk density, narrow particle size distribution and good powder flowability are prepared by cooling a polyolefin solution comprising a solvent and nonsolvent for the polyolefin and containing a small amount of an inorganic compound and, if desired, water. The polyolefin powders are suitable for powder coating. Suitable solvents are hydrocarbons, such as hexane, heptane, etc., and a mixture of hydrocarbon and nonsolvent for polyolefin such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, etc. The ratio of a hydrocarbon/nonsolvent is 95/5 - 30/70, preferably 90/10 - 50/50. Suitable inorganic compounds are phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, inorganic salts thereof, etc. and the most preferable inorganic compound is phosphoric acid.
