Abstract: The microporous poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) (PS-DVB) microspheres have the advantages of stable physical and chemical properties, large specific surface area, low production cost, and controllable particle sizes. It has broad application prospects in the fields of biomedicine, adsorption, separation and catalyst support. Three kinds of porous polymer microspheres (PPMs) were prepared by introducing the functional monomers acrylonitrile (AN), acrylamide (AA) and N-vinyl carbazole (VC). The results show that, on the one hand, polypropylenes are microspheres and nanofibers due to the template effect and confined effect. On the other hand, the load of Ti and Mg in the Ziegler-Natta catalyst supported by PPM-AN increases with the increase of specific surface area of the support. The results of propylene polymerization show that under the same pressure, the overall trend of molecular mass (Mw), molecular mass distribution (PDI) and isotacticity increase with the increase of pore size because the propylene monomer is restricted by PPM-AN support.

Key words: porous polymer microspheres, polypropylene catalyst support, confined olefin polymerization, confined crystallization of polypropylene
