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 an internal electron donor, a support made from a magnesium
compound, an alcohol, an ether, a surfactant, 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 catalyst component
containing a support made from a magnesium compound, an alcohol, an
ether, a surfactant, and an alkyl silicate.
