This invention relates to a process to prepare a trialkylaluminum treated
support comprising: 1) combining a support with first trialkylaluminum
compound(s), where the alkyl groups have at least 2 carbon atoms; then 2)
calcining the combination of the support and the trialkylaluminum
compound(s); then 3) combining the calcined support with second
trialkylaluminum compound(s), where the alkyl groups have at least 2
carbon atoms; where the first and second trialkylaluminum compound(s) may
be the same or different. This invention further relates to catalyst
systems comprising catalyst compounds and such supports, as well as
processes to polymerize unsaturated monomers using the supports in
combination with catalyst compounds.
