Disclosed is a method of producing a polyolefin composition comprising
contacting a metallocene pre-catalyst with a substoichiometric amount of
a co-catalyst; adding a first olefin monomer; and polymerizing the first
monomer for a time sufficient to form the polyolefin. The method allows
for the use of a minimum amount of activating co-catalyst, and allows for
the production of stereoregular and non-stereoregular polyolefins. The
use of configurationally stable metallocene pre-catalysts allows for the
production of monomodal isotactic polyolefins having narrow
polydispersity. The use of configurationally unstable metallocene
pre-catalysts allows for the production of monomodal atactic polyolefins
having narrow polydispersity. The method of the present invention
optionally further comprises contacting the polyolefin with a second
amount of said co-catalyst; adding a second olefin monomer; polymerizing
said second olefin monomer to form a block-polyolefin composition. Also
disclosed are monomodal diblock copolymer compositions made according to
the present invention.
