A polyolefin has 1) a density in the range of 0.93 to 0.97 g/cm, 2) a BOCD (Broad Orthogonal Co-monomer Distribution) index defined by a given equation in the range of 1 to 5, and 3) a molecular weight distribution (weight average molecular weight/number average molecular weight) in the range of 4 to 10. A supported hybrid metallocene catalyst comprises a first metallocene compound represented by a first given formulae, a second metallocene compound represented by one of three given formulae, and a support.

Polyolefin and preparation method thereof

The present invention provides ethylene-acrylate based copolymer prepared by a method comprising step of a radical polymerization reaction of ethylene and acrylate based monomer under presence of a metal oxide or Lewis acid. The ethylene-acrylated based copolymer according to the present invention is processed into a polymer film, a transparency of the polymer is not affected. Due to such a feature, the copolymer can be used for optical products.

1-alkene-acrylate based copolymer

The present invention provides 1-alkene-acrylate based copolymer prepared by a method comprising step of a radical polymerization reaction of 1-alkene and acrylate based monomer under presence of a metal oxide or Lewis acid. The 1-alkene-acrylated based copolymer according to the present invention is a random copolymer of 1-alkene and a polar monomer, and an amount of a polar group contained in the copolymer is very high so that the alkene is not crystalline. Accordingly, when the copolymer is processed into a polymer film, a transparency of the polymer is not affected. Due to such a feature, the copolymer can be used for optical products.

The present invention provides a new supported catalyst for olefin polymerization prepared by reacting a novel transition metal compound on a cocatalyst-supported support, in which the transition metal compound is coordinated with a monocyclopentadienyl ligand to which an amido-quinoline group is introduced, a method for preparing the same, and a method for preparing a polyolefin using the same. The transition metal catalyst compound used in the present invention is configured such that an amido group is linked in a cyclic form via a phenylene bridge. Thus, a pentagon ring structure of the transition metal compound is stably maintained, so that monomers easily approach the transition metal compound and the reactivity is also high. Accordingly, if the supported catalyst for olefin polymerization prepared according to the present invention is applied to the copolymerization of ethylene and monomers having large steric hindrance in a slurry or a gas phase process, a linear, a linear, high molecular weight polyolefin having a very low density of 0.900 to 0.970 g/cc or less can be obtained.

The present invention provides a method for preparation of an 1-alkene-acrylate based copolymer comprising a step of a radical polymerization reaction of 1-alkene and acrylate based monomer under presence of a metal oxide or Lewis acid, and a method for preparation of an alkene-acrylate based copolymer comprising reacting alkene with an acrylate based monomer under presence of a metal oxide. In the method of preparation according to the present invention, the process is simple and properties of the copolymer can be easily controlled by preparing the copolymer in a mild condition of 100&#xb0; C. or less and 200 bar or less. In addition, the amount of the polar group of the copolymer prepared by the method is so high that the copolymer can be used for transparent optical products. Since the alkene-acrylate based copolymer prepared by the method is a random copolymer of ethylene and a polar monomer and the amount of the polar group of the polar monomer so high that the crystallinity of the ethylene monomer does not remain in the copolymer, the ethylene-acrylate based copolymer is not affected from a transparency of the polymer and thus may be used for optical products.
