Polypropylene is one of the commercially most important polymers and is produced via coordinative polymerization with supported metal‐organic catalysts in different processes. While kinetic measurements for slurry and gas‐phase polymerization of propene are well‐established, for bulk phase polymerization of propene, often the only kinetic information obtained from an experiment is the yield. In this paper, two calorimetric methods and their application for measurement of kinetics of bulk phase polymerization of propene are discussed. On the one hand a special calibration‐free heat flow calorimeter and on the other hand power compensation calorimetry coupled with a software sensor for online baseline correction.

反应量热法研究丙烯本体聚合反应动力学

聚丙烯是商业上最重要的聚合物之一，是通过与负载型金属有机催化剂的配位聚合反应在不同过程中生产的。尽管已经很好地确定了丙烯淤浆和气相聚合的动力学测量方法，但对于丙烯的本体相聚合，通常从实验中获得的唯一动力学信息就是产率。本文讨论了两种量热法及其在丙烯本体相聚合动力学测量中的应用。一方面是一种特殊的无需校准的热流量量热仪，另一方面是功率补偿量热仪和一个用于在线基线校正的软件传感器。
