Question

What is true about Ziegler-Natta polymerization?

• A. Ziegler-Natta catalyst is aluminium ethoxide along with titanium tetrachloride
• B. Ziegler-Natta polymerization always gives linear, stereoregular polymers
• C. It goes through free radical polymerization process
• D. Low density polyethylene is prepared using a ziegler-Natta catalyst

Answer 1

The correct option is B Ziegler-Natta polymerization always gives linear, stereoregular polymers

(a) Ziegler-Natta catalyst is triethylaluminium along with titanium tetrachloride.
b) Ziegler-Natta polymerization always gives linear, stereoregular polymers.
(c) It is coordination polymerization.
(d) High density polyethylene is prepared using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst.
