Abstract

A catalyst composition comprising A) an aluminoxane-impregnated support prepared by contacting an aluminoxane with an inert carrier material and heating to a temperature of at least about 80.degree. C.; B) a metallocene of the formula: EQU (L).sub.y (L')MY.sub.(x-y-1) wherein M is a metal from groups IIIB to VIII of the Periodic Table; each L and L' is independently a cycloalkadienyl group bonded to M; each Y is independently hydrogen, an aryl, alkyl, alkenyl, alkylaryl, or arylalkyl radical having 1-20 carbon atoms, a hydrocarboxy radical having from 1-20 carbon atoms, a halogen, RCO.sub.2 --, or R.sub.2 N--, wherein R is a hydrocarbyl group containing 1 to about 20 carbon atoms; n and m are each 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4; y is 0, 1, or 2; x is 1, 2, 3, or 4; and x-y.gtoreq.1; C) a bulky aluminum alkyl of the formula: EQU AlR.sup.1.sub.x R.sup.2.sub.(3-x) wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; x is an integer from 0 to 2; R.sup.2 is a hydrocarbyl group of the formula --(CH.sub.2).sub.y -- R.sup.3, wherein y is an integer from 1 to 8; and R.sup.3 is a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group having 3 to 12 carbon atoms containing at least one ring, and D) meth…
