Abstract

Process for polymerizing alpha-olefins, in which at least one alpha-olefin is placed in contact, under polymerizing conditions, with a catalytic system comprising(a) a solid catalyst comprising (i) a compound of a transition metal from groups 4 to 6 of the Periodic Table, containing at least one cyclopentadiene ligand which may be substituted, (ii) an activator chosen from aluminoxanes and ionizing agents, and (iii) a porous polymeric support, and(b) at least one organoaluminium compound corresponding to the general formula R3&#8722;nAl(Y&#8242;)n in which 0.9<n&lE;3; Y&#8242; represents a group chosen from &#8212;OR&#8242;, &#8212;SR&#8242; and &#8212;NR&#8242;R&#8243;; R and R&#8242; independently represent an alkyl group comprising from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl, alkylaryl or arylalkyl group comprising from 6 to 30 carbon atoms, and R&#8243; represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group comprising from 1 to 20 carbon atoms or an aryl, alkylaryl or arylalkyl group comprising from 6 to 30 carbon atoms.
