title: The design of a bipodal bis(pentafluorophenoxy)aluminate supported on silica as an activator for ethylene polymerization using surface organometallic chemistry.
abstract: A new class of well-defined activating supports for olefin polymerization was obtained via the surface organometallic chemistry approach. High activities in slurry polymerization of ethylene along with industrial-grade physical properties of the resulting polyethylene were obtained when these activators were combined with metallocene complexes in the presence of triisobutylaluminium.
