| | Shape-shifted magnesium alkoxide component for polymerizing olefins - Patent 5604172 |
 | | Ordinarily, an alcohol and a magnesium dialkoxide are employed wherein the alkoxide group of the alcohol and the alkoxide groups of the magnesium compound are identical. |
 | | Thus, by the successive steps of carboxylation, addition of filler, spray drying and decarboxylation, structurally coherent and abrasion resistant particles containing dihydrocarbyloxide magnesium are produced which have a more advantageous particle size, are substantially rounder and more uniformly sized than the irregularly-shaped particles of dihydrocarbyloxide magnesium used in their preparation. |
 | | Especially noteworthy is the disappearance of the layered, polymeric magnesium alkoxide network structure in the interior of the particles, as shown by the crisp, two-stage decomposition pattern in the TGA of the shape-shifted dihydrocarbyloxide composition, compared to the broad, ill-defined single step decomposition pattern of the original magnesium dihydrocarbyloxide. |
