Disclosed are catalyst systems and methods of making the catalyst systems/supports
for the polymerization of an olefin containing a solid titanium catalyst component
having a substantially spherical shape and containing a titanium compound and a
support made from a magnesium compound and an alkyl silicate. The catalyst system
may further contain an organoaluminum compound and an organosilicon compound. Also
disclosed are methods of making an impact copolymer involving polymerizing an olefin
to provide a polyolefin matrix and polymerizing a polyolefin rubber using a solid
titanium catalyst component containing a titanium compound and a support made from
a magnesium compound and an alkyl silicate.
