State board backs revamped school districtsBy JOSH OGORMAN
Vermont Press Bureau | March 27,2014MONTPELIER A bill seeking to consolidate school districts has received the support of the State Board of Education, though not without a voice of dissent.
By a vote of 6-1 Tuesday, the State Board of Education voted to support H.883, a bill in the Vermont House that would abolish supervisory unions and consolidate the states nearly 300 school districts into a series of large expanded districts offering education from pre-kindergarten through grade 12.
The motion, made by student representative and board co-vice chairman Lachlan Francis and seconded by board member Mark Perrin, states the Vermont State Board of Education goes on record as strongly supporting H.883.
It continues: The Board believes it is time to modernize Vermonts educational governance system so that all Vermont students are provided equitable opportunity to prosper and thrive in all Vermont schools. The Board further commits to work with the Vermont Legislature and the Agency of Education to fairly implement the new governance structure.
The bill which can be read online at goo.gl/AnPl0W would give school districts until July 1, 2017 to come up with consolidation plans that would first be subject to approval by the State Board Of Education and ultimately by the voters within the expanded district. Those districts that do not consolidate by that date would be subject to a statewide plan that would be created by a design team, with members appointed by the Senate, the House and Gov. Peter Shumlin.
The bill was passed Friday by the House Committee on Education and introduced on the House floor Tuesday, when it was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Stephan Morse, chairman of the State Board of Education, voted in favor of the motion to support the bill. As chairman, Morse typically does not cast a vote, but did so in this case.
I think its the most important piece of educational legislation we have seen in some time, Morse said. We must provide educational opportunities to all children statewide, and this is an essential change to our educational governance system.
The motion did not receive across-the-board support. Board member William Mathis, who alone voted against supporting the bill, spoke Wednesday of his opposition to the consolidation plan.
It replaces Democracy with bureaucracy, said Mathis, who was superintendent of the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union for 27 years and is the managing director of the National Education Policy Center, which deals with policies surrounding school consolidation.
Among Mathis criticisms of the bill is the idea that local school boards will be abolished in favor of a single, district-wide board.
By eliminating school boards, you are eliminating local voice and local control, he said. You are taking power away from the school board and giving it to some distant entity.
The bill does include provisions to create advisory committees for each school, who would work with the local representative on the district-wide board. Mathis said these advisory committees are no substitute for school boards.
If you establish a group and you give them no authority, what good will it do? he said.
Mathis spoke in favor of the current supervisory union structure of school governance.
For an incredibly strange governance structure, its done a lot of good things, in terms of centralizing accounting, transportation and special education, Mathis said.
Vermont does very well by its students in terms of education, he said, and I would argue that it is not in spite of the governance structure, but because of it.

I have waited for these plaques because they will be perfect on our bedroom wall. Yet, I never anticipated the weight of the plaques, I'm now concerned we may not have a beam behind the wall adequate to hold them up.
good weight! tropical feel! excellent accent!
i am very pleased with my purchase. The wall decor is lovely and made well. The delivery process was fast and packed well.
These are lovely, but very heavy so make sure you've got strong anchors or in a stud.
Likes, fit right in in our master bedroom

I've just finished drawing out and writing the concept of my concept. I'm going to be working with the idea of the changing seasons.
I don't feel I have enough knowledge in animation to create an animated picture, as I desired. I discussed my idea with a friend and I though I could use stop motion and create my concept using coloured cardboard, when I discussed this with my client I was recommended to take pictures of all the shapes I will use individually and edit them together on Photoshop and Motion. So as oppose to using stop motion, I'll be animating my work together.
I was told to look at Angelina Anoconda for inspiration, following this post will be a video clip of Angelina Anoconda, so you can get a feel of where i'm heading with my idea.
My ident, for your scrutiny. I've discovered I can't really use Motion and ultimately, I am just very disappointed with this, the music makes me cringe and it's simply dreadful. I'll stick to writing and working behind cameras I think.
The amount the quality has been compressed doesn't particularly help haha
For reference and inspiration with my ident idea.
I've just finished drawing out and writing the concept of my concept. I'm going to be working with the idea of the changing seasons.
After a quick discussion with my client we decided to work on the dark blue logo and to change the shade so it was lighter, back to an original idea I was using whilst aligning my text.
This is my final logo, what does everyone think? :)
This is a copy of my contact sheet for my final logo, which do people like the best?
After conferring with my client we decided on the second logo and we worked together a little on making sure the border around the tree and the text was equal from all sides. I'll soon post my contact sheet.
These are my first two ideas for my logo, I think I prefer the second one more.
So it turns out, I'm not brilliant when it comes to do anything on a computer, unless it's blogging or self promotion etc.
I'm really struggling with my ident work but I think I now have a basic idea that I'm going to expand and work with. It doesn't help that I'm also incredibly ill recently. I am worried that I'm also editing my next production, computers are not my friend.
I think at least now I'm starting to realise my strengths and weaknesses.
Today I settled on my companies name for my ident, I agreed on using the name "Carpe Diem Creative" with my client. Carpe Diem meaning "seize the day" in Latin, it's a lovely quote to fill you with the idea of possibility, hope and succession.
Today I had my first attempt at creating a logo on In Design, I'm having difficulty getting to grips with the process but it's interesting and fun to learn to use. I'll post as I further my progress.
The media industry is a perfect example of "Nothing is perfect". Every company, no matter what they do, whether it's film, television, advertising or idents, can succeed or they can fail. Some projects can be extremely successful, some can simply flop.
The first task for an ident is to assure that the audience will recognise or be able to pick up the name or a logo of what it is they're watching. For example, if somebody sits down to watch television and they don't know what channel they're on, they waited until the break to find out and they saw this ident :
The viewer clearly knows they're watching the Syfy channel. They know this because they're presented with the name of the channel, so we now know the corporate identity. We're then told to "Imagine Greater" which is a display of text based information. We are to assume from the name of the channel and the colours, the movement of the ident itself, the tagline, that this channel gives us something beyond normality. Programmes that are fictional and beyond the norm. You wouldn't expect to find a reality show on the Syfy channel, or music videos.
The use of white and slight shadows and the purple makes the ident look very clean cut and futuristic, the shifting effect of the font reminds me of Transformers, which as robots, is again, associated with Syfy so this works with the image of the Syfy brand and will appeal to the target audience.
This next ident was created for the game Dragon Age, created by EA and Bioware :
The adaptation of this ident for Dragon Age 2 are amongst my favourites of the idents I've looked at. The colour scheme for the game is perfect, the use of the red dragon is fast paced as it comes seemingly through the screen towards you as it breathes fire, the effect of blood and and wispy, smoke creating a shroud of mystery and fantastical element to the ident compliments what you're about to play and is almost a little preview of what to expect. Colour plays a vital role is designing your logo and ident, people have instant reactions to different colours and colour schemes, the main colour we're looking at in this ident is red, red stirs these emotions in us.
Action, Adventure, Aggression, Blood, Danger, Drive, Energy, Excitement, Love, Passion, Strength and Vigor
Making the colour choice perfect for this specific games ident. I was the target audience for this ident and I enjoyed watching it every time I turned on the game, the colours work together, the music is a rising of anticipation, it gets the audience excited and tense, prepared to play.
Something that needs to be kept in mind throughout the creation of your ident is how you intend for it to be viewed by your audience. It is vital that pay attention to aspect ratios, most idents created for the use of television will be made for the aspect ratio of 4:3. You may need to create an ident to be used in many different formats, for example on an internet video, for an iPhone, Blackberry or other smart phones and most importantly, television. If you were to create a really quick paced ident for the use of television is may not flow and load quick enough on a site such as Youtube, the ident may jump and thus your audience may become impatient and turn off what they were planning to watch.
Music is key to a good ident, if you're creating an ident for a channel that teenagers watch, you want the music to be upbeat and modern. If you're creating an ident for a channel that shows wildlife documentaries, you may not choose music at all but instead sounds of the rainforest, or the ocean. The soundtrack used of the top of your ident reflects on you as a company and who you want to associate with your brand. Here is an example of an ident that succeeded.
This National Geographical Wild ident uses a very slow paced tune in the background, underneath the sounds of animals, insects, wings and the rustling of trees, the sounds work well with the ident.
A channel I personally watch regularly is FX. Please watch the following ident.
Again, the use of red, which promotes danger, passion, aggression, excitement, love and strength. These emotions are what the programmes are about that FX shows. I am brand loyal to FX and if I see their logo or their ident or an advert for a programme being shown on their channel, I will mostly check out what it is, because you as your incitement of brand loyalty grows, so does your trust in a channel.
Amongst many successors of course there are some idents that are confusing, misleading, sometimes offensive and unappealing.
For example this ident created for G4 was sure to offend some of their audience.
It was shown during an advert break and was soon taken off air due to causing offence.

College can be a stressful time of transitional changes. Students are concerned about academics, relationships, their sexuality, finances, and dealing with the college experience on a daily basis. As a result, students suffer anxiety, depression, substance abuse and other mental health related issues. Talking things over with a counselor gives you a chance to benefit from another viewpoint as you determine how you might want to approach a difficult or challenging situation.
Counselors may provide personal counseling services to any enrolled student. We also provide services to former students who are sitting out a semester and/or who are clearly preparing to return to college. Counselors are equipped to refer cases requiring treatment or services beyond the staffing capabilities of the department to appropriate community resources (public and/or private).

As I seem to recall from back when the History Channel showed history, the original function of the "wrist watch" was jewelry, especially for ladies. Men wore pocket watches, and wrist watches were women's bracelets with a built-in timepiece. From what I remember, wrist watches weren't really appropriate fashion items for men until World War 1, when mass troop coordination required everyone to have an easily accessible timepiece, and wrist-watches fit the bill. So having the wrist watch return the status of jewelry isn't too unprecedented.
I find I prefer to wear a pocket watch at the office. I'm not a good typist, and wearing a wrist-watch bothers me when I use a keyboard. The pocket watch lets me have a convenient timepiece that stays in my pants. Plus you can get some really fancy pocket watches.
I've had similar feelings about the current policy of giving out student loans to anyone who qualifies for any course of study. While it probably in the Federal and State governments' purview to make sure we have adequate qualified people in all courses of study (beyond the usual demands of the market), how many Classical Studies majors (not to pick on them) does the United States need to produce every year, and do we need to subsidize or encourage them, and if so, at what level.
My only observation is regarding your comparison between your student loans and your mortgage. I understand the purpose of your comparison, but it is far harder to give your education, versus your house, to someone else if it doesn't work out.

Grow up. If we don't budget for inflation, things are going to suck even more when we get halfway through the fiscal year and realize we don't have the money to get make it to the end. This has nothing to with being a Republican or Democrat and everything with actually trying to plan a project and deliver something to the taxpayer. I realize most households don't have to worry about this on a yearly basis, but both government and big business must if they don't want to fail.
Now if you want to discuss whether it's in our long term national interest to print so much money that year-to-year inflationary growth is something we have to monitor in our budget process, fine. Or if you have thoughts on how to responsibly reduce government services without gutting either our social welfare or military programs (or both), please share. We need some good ideas, 'cause those idiots up on the Hill seem stumped. But just because you don't like inflation doesn't mean you can live in a fantasy land where it doesn't exist.

Baseball Urban Legends Revealed #33
This is the thirty-third in a series of examinations of baseball-related legends and whether they are true or false. Click here to view an archive of all the previous baseball legends.
This is a special themed edition! All legends involving Jimmy Dykes!
Let's begin!
BASEBALL LEGEND: A former White Sox player stole home because he thought he saw the "steal home" sign…from his former manager, Dykes!
STATUS: I'm Going With False
Jimmy Dykes is one of the most colorful characters in the history of baseball – and Dykes hung around baseball for a very long time. Born in 1896, Dykes broke into the Major Leagues in 1918 but soon had to serve in the military at the end of World War I. He returned in 1919 and became a stalwart of the Philadelphia Athletics, playing third base for the team for the next fourteen years (the Athletics won three pennants and two world titles in that time). After being sold to the Chicago White Sox in 1932 (along with star players Mule Haas and Al Simmons, the trio were sold for $100,000 – Athletics' owner Connie Mack needed the money, but the White Sox also needed some good players if they wanted to keep fans interested during the Great Depression), Dykes remained popular enough to be named to the first two All-Star Games in 1933 and 1934.
Also in 1934, Dykes was named player-manager of the White Sox, and he would remain manager (he retired as a player in 1939) of the team until 1946. While he won no pennants with the team, the White Sox were more successful with Dykes than they had been in years (since the infamous 1919 "Black Sox" scandal, the White Sox were an awful baseball team). Dykes was a fiery fellow, but he was generally very well liked by his players. He was known as a great motivator. He was also known as a practical joker, with exploding cigars being a main stock of his trade. He also was not a big fan of umpires…
While there are a number of great stories about Dykes from his long history as a player and manager (he would go on to manage five other teams in his career), the story I am opening with involves baseball signs, and more importantly, remembering the signs your former team used.
As you may or may not know, baseball teams frequently use elaborate hand signals (or "signs") for the manager and coaches to inform the players what they want them to do. For instance, let's say the manager wants the batter to bunt the ball. There will be a secret series of hand signals that will denote "bunt."
Dykes had a player who he often had a hard time teaching signs to. Henry "Zeke" Bonura was one of the greatest Italian-American athletes of his generation (he is a member of the Italian American Sports Hall of Fame). A powerful athlete, at the age of 16 in 1925 he became youngest male athlete ever to win an event at the National Track and Field Championships (in the javelin throw). His power translated to the major leagues – he was a prodigious hitter. He broke in with the White Sox the same year Dykes became manager of the team. He set a then-record for most home runs by a White Sox rookie (27). He also had the White Sox record for most runs batted in in a season (138) that eventually fell to Albert Belle in 1998 (Frank Thomas also passed it in 2000).
Bonura, though, had a hard time following the signs. One famous story involved Dykes trying to get Bonura to bunt but it just wasn't getting through. From a Franz Lidz article in Sports Illustrated in 1982, "Webb repeated the sign; Bonura continued to gape. They went through it again. Finally Dykes, watching impatiently from the dugout steps, had had enough. "Bunt, you meathead," he shouted. "Bunt. Bunt. B-U-N-T." A glint of recognition lit up Bonura's face. On the next pitch, he bunted."
I can't confirm or deny that one, but in that same section, Lidz has a few more stories about Dykes and signs, including the one that we're specifically discussing today.
First, he tells a story about when Dykes left the Athletics…
Connie Mack traded him to the White Sox in 1933, and Dykes, who had played under Mack for 15 seasons, figured he had taken the A's signs with him. When Chicago next played the A's, Dykes thought he saw Mack give the bunt sign. Dykes charged the plate with the pitch and nearly got his head removed by a line drive.
"After you left us," Mr. Mack gently explained later, "we changed our signs."
Dykes has confirmed this story over the years and I believe that it is true, but it's also not something I can necessarily confirm or deny. It wasn't so notable to make newspaper accounts of the game and it is not something that would show up in a box score. But it seems reasonable enough.
Now later in the article, though…
In 1938 Dykes traded Bonura to Washington. The first time the Senators visited Comiskey Park that season, Sox Coach Bing Miller advised Dykes to change his signs because Bonura knew them. "Why should we?" asked Dykes. "He couldn't remember them when he was with us."
Bonura wound up on third during one of the games. He glanced into the home dugout, where Dykes was waving a scorecard at a buzzing mosquito. As the pitcher wound up, Bonura wobbled down the third-base line like an errant truck and sent the catcher sprawling.
Bonura was safe, and when asked why he stole home, he said, "I saw Dykes give the sign to steal, and I forgot I wasn't on his team anymore."
That is a great story and it is a very popular tale of baseball lore (it pops up in many "wacky baseball stories" books), but for this one, we DO have the answer.
Bonura played against the White Sox nineteen times in the 1938 season, nine of them in Comiskey. He had zero stolen bases in those games. In addition, in a 1957 Baseball Digest article on Dykes, the above story is repeated up until the point where Dykes says "He couldn't remember them when he was with us." And the story ends "No signs were changed. Bonura never intercepted one."
It is almost certain that the stolen base against the White Sox is just a variation on an actual Bonura story back when he was playing with the White Sox. As I mentioned earlier, Bonura had a hard time following signs, and at times he would mis-read the signs and think he was supposed to steal (and he not being a fast guy exactly, he was rarely asked to steal by the manager – he had only 19 career stolen bases, and who knows how many of them were accidental). And in a game against the New York Yankees in August of 1935, Bonura did, in fact, steal home (he had four stolen bases against the Yankees in his career with the White Sox).
Chicago sportswriter Irving Vaughan wrote about it in a story on Bonura in 1936, "All of a sudden, a cloud of dust started to raise between third and home. It was Zeke calling on his legs to carry out a Ty Cobb thought." Yankee catcher Bill Dickey remarked, "What's this game coming to? If a big lumberman like that can steal home, then we had best fold up."
So almost certainly that's the game that was mixed up with Bonura returning as a Senator to steal home to beat his former team.
Thanks to Franz Lidz for the article, Irving Vaughan for his article and Otto Bruno of the great website, The Old Ball Game, for finding Vaughan's article! Thanks, Otto!

Dykes' long run as Chicago White Sox manager ended in the late 1940s (he was replaced by Ted Lyons, the Hall of Fame pitcher whose late career revival was heavily due to how Dykes handled him – Dykes had him pitch once a week, and the veteran pitcher responded beautifully to the extra rest). Dykes was hand-picked by Connie Mack to replace the Hall of Fame manager in Philadelphia (where Dykes had starred as a player). His tenure in Philly would be short-lived, however, and in 1954 Dykes became the first manager in Baltimore Orioles history.
That term, too, would be short-lived. Dykes ended up working as a coach for the Reds in the late 1950s (when they were going by the Redlegs because of fear over Communism) and even served as their interim manager in 1958.
He went back to the American League in 1959 to become the manager of the Detroit Tigers.
Here's where things get REALLY interesting.
With the Tigers and the Cleveland Indians both in a funk in the 1960 season, Indians General Manager Frank Lane proposed a trade…a trade of MANAGERS!
Lane sent the Indian manager, Joe Gordon, to the Tigers for Dykes!
Neither team responded particularly well to the trade. The Indians were actually over .500 with Gordon, but under .500 with Dykes (and finished the season at .458).
Dykes would manage the Indians for the 1961 season, where they would improve, but still finish under .500 (Dykes was let go at the end of the season).
He hung around for a few more years as a coach for other teams before finally calling it quits in 1964.
BASEBALL LEGEND: Jimmy Dykes was the first person to wear zippers in his uniform.
STATUS: True
In 1937, the Chicago Cubs debuted new uniforms.
Here they are, sketched out in the Chicago Tribune in an article by Ed Burns…
The Cubs were the first team to have zippers be part of their standard uniform. It was a trend that would soon spread to at least half of the teams in the league, before they all one by one went back to the buttoned up jerseys that you see today (the Philadelphia Phillies were the last team to wear zipped-up jerseys, and that was in 1986!). However, they kept the zippered pants.
In any event, the IDEA behind the zippered jerseys came from Jimmy Dykes!
You see, in 1936, he was the manager of the crosstown Chicago White Sox, and Dykes liked to be able to get the heck out of the clubhouse and get himself to a drinking establishment as fast as possible after the game (remember, Dykes was still only in his late 30s when he began managing the Sox).
So Dykes had a zippered jersey made for him, and the Cubs were inspired to use it themselves, and soon a trend was born!
Jimmy Dykes – he was involved in a lot of baseball history!
Thanks to Ed Burns for the 1937 article!

Crystalline, isotactic homopolymers of cycloolefins or elastic copolymers made from cycloolefins and linear olefins are obtained, without ring opening of the cycloolefins, at industrially favorable polymerization temperatures by means of a catalyst which comprises a stereorigid, chiral metallocene compound of groups IVb to VIb of the Periodic Table of the Elements and an aluminoxane.
1. A homopolymer or copolymer containing 80 to 100 mol-% repeating cyclic units derived from a cycloolefin monomer, the balance of up to 20 mol-% of the repeating units, in the case of a copolymer, being derived from at least one linear monomer selected from the group consisting a C2 --to C28 --1--olefin and a C4 --to C28 --diolefin, said copolymer having a polydispersity, Mw /Mn ranging in value from 2.9 to 6.0.
2. A homopolymer or copolymer as claimed in claim 1, containing 90 to 100% repeating cyclic units derived from a monomer of the formula ##STR10## in which n is a number from 2 to 10.
3. A copolymer according to claim 2 containing up to 10 mol-% repeating units derived from a C2 to C6 1--olefin or a C4 to C12 --diolefin.
4. A crystalline isotactic polycyclopentene, comprising repeating cyclopentene units in which the monomer rings are fully retained, said polycyclopentene having a melting point above 250� C.
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of homopolymers and copolymers of cycloolefins, in which the cycloolefin rings are not opened.
It is known that cycloolefins can be polymerized by means of various Ziegler catalysts. However, ring opening occurs in most of these cases. In addition, highly isotactic polycycloolefins are not obtained.
In addition, it is known that exclusively atactic polymer is obtained in the polymerization of propylene when a catalyst based on bis-cyclopentadienyl compounds of zirconium and aluminoxane are used (cf. U.S. Pat. No. 4,542,199).
Finally, highly isotactic polypropylene can be prepared by means of soluble, stereorigid, chiral zirconium compounds (cf. EP-A 185,918).
The object was to find a polymerization process in which cyclic olefins can be polymerized isotactically with retention of the ring even using other linear olefins.
It has been found that the object can be achieved if the catalyst used is a stereorigid, chiral metallocene compound together with an aluminoxane.
The present invention therefore relates to a process for the preparation of an olefin polymer by means of polymerization of 80 to 100% by weight, relative to the total amount of the monomers, of a cycloolefin of the formula ##STR1## in which n is a number from 2 to 10, and 0 to 20% by weight, relative to the total amount of the monomer, of a C2 --to C28 --1--olefin or C4 --to C28 --diolefin, in solution, in suspension or in the gas phase, at a temperature from -60� to 150� C., at a pressure from 0.5 to 64 bar, in the presence of a catalyst which comprises a transition metal compound and an aluminoxane, wherein the polymerization is carried out in the presence of a catalyst the transition metal compound of which is a metallocene compound of the formula I ##STR2## in which Me is a transition metal of groups IVb to VIb of the Periodic Table of the Elements,
A is a mononuclear or polynuclear, asymmetrical hydrocarbon radical,
R1 denotes a C1 --to C4 --alkylene radical and R2 and R3 are identical or different and denote a halogen atom or a C1 --to C6 --alkyl radical, and where the aluminoxane has the formula II ##STR3## for the linear type and/or has the formula III ##STR4## for the cyclic type, and, in the formulae II and III, R4 denotes a C1 -C6 --alkyl group and m is an integer from 20 to 40, and to the polymer prepared by this process.
In the formula I ##STR5## of the metallocene compound, Me is a transition metal of group IVb, Vb or VIb of the Periodic Table of the Elements, for example titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum or tungsten. Titanium and zirconium, in particular zirconium, are preferred.
A is a mononuclear or polynuclear, asymmetrical hydrocarbon radical, for example an indenyl ligand or an unsubstituted or substituted cyclopentadiene ligand or a benzene ligand or a cyclooctatetraene ligand, preferably an indenyl ligand or a substituted cyclopentadiene ligand.
R1 is a C1 --to C4 --alkylene radical, preferably a C2 --alkylene radical.
R2 and R3 are identical or different and denote a halogen atom or a C1 --to C6 --alkyl radical, preferably a chlorine atom.
The racemate, but also the R--or S--form, of ethylenebis(indenyl)zirconium dichloride or ethylenebis(4,5,6,7--tetrahydro--1--indenyl)zirconium dichloride is particularly preferred.
The second component of the catalyst according to the invention is an aluminoxane of the formula II ##STR6## for the linear type and/or of the formula III ##STR7## for the cyclic type. In these formulae, R4 denotes a C1 -C6--alkyl group, preferably methyl, ethyl or isobutyl, in particular methyl, and m denotes an integer from 2 to 40, preferably 10 to 20.
The aluminoxane can be prepared in various ways.
In one of the processes, finely powdered copper sulfate pentahydrate is slurried in toluene and, in a glass flask under an inert gas, sufficient trialkylaluminum is added at about -20� C. so that about 1 mole of CuSO4.5H2 O is available per 4 Al atoms. After slow hydrolysis with elimination of alkane, the reaction mixture is kept at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours, cooling being necessary in some cases so that the temperature does not exceed 30� C. The copper sulfate is subsequently filtered off from the aluminoxane dissolved in the toluene, and the toluene is removed by distillation in vacuo.
In addition, aluminoxanes are obtained when trialkylaluminum, preferably trialkylaluminum, dissolved in an inert aliphatic or aromatic solvent, preferably heptane or toluene, is reacted with aluminum salts, preferably aluminum sulfate, containing water of crystallization at a temperature from -20� to 100� C. During this reaction, the volume ratio between the solvent and the alkylaluminum used is 1:1 to 50:1--preferably 5:1--and the reaction time, which can be monitored by means of the elimination of the alkane, is 1 to 200 hours--preferably 10 to 40 hours.
Of aluminum salts containing water of crystallization, those are used, in particular, which have a high content of water of crystallization. Aluminum sulfate hydrate, above the compounds Al2 (SO4)3.18H2 O and Al2 (SO4)3 --16H2 O having the particularly high content of water of crystallization of 18 and 16 moles of H2 O/mole of Al2 (SO4)3 respectively, is particularly preferred.
The catalyst to be used according to the invention is employed for homopolymerization and copolymerization of cycloolefins of the formula ##STR8## in which n is a number from 2 to 10, preferably 3, 5 or 6, in particular 3. Examples are cyclobutene, cyclopentene, cyclohexene, cycloheptene and cyclooctene, preferably cyclopentene, cycloheptene and cyclooctene, in particular cyclopentene. The cycloolefins mentioned may be polymerized alone or in a mixture or alternately.
The comonomers employed are C2 --to C28 --, preferably C2 --to C10 --, in particular C2 --to C6 --1--olefins or C4 --to C28 --, preferably C4 --to C12 --diolefins. Examples are ethylene, propylene, 1--butene, 1--hexene, 4--methyl--1--pentene, 1--octene, 1,4--butadiene and norbornadiene. Ethylene, propylene, 1--butene, 1--hexene and 1--octene, in particular ethylene and propylene, are preferred 1--olefins and butadiene is the preferred diolefin.
80 to 100, preferably 90 to 100, mol-% of the cycloolefin, relative to the total amount of the monomers, and 0 to 20, preferably 0 to 10, mol-% of the linear comonomers, relative to the total amount of the monomers, are employed.
The polymerization is carried out in an inert solvent which is customary for the Ziegler low-pressure process, for example in an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon; examples which may be mentioned are butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, isooctane, cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane. In addition, it is possible to use a gasoline or hydrogenated diesel oil fraction which has been carefully freed from oxygen, sulfur compounds and moisture. Toluene can also be used. Finally, it is also possible to use the monomers to be polymerized as the solvent or suspending agent. The molecular weight of the polymer can be regulated in a known manner; hydrogen is preferably used for this purpose.
Polymerization is carried out in a known manner in suspension or in the gas phase, continuously or batchwise, in one step or in several steps, at a temperature from -60� to 150� C., preferably -20� to 80� C. The pressure is 0.5 to 64 bar. Polymerization in the industrially particularly important pressure range from 5 to 64 bar is preferred.
In the polymerization, the metallocene compound is used in a concentration, based on the transition metal, from 10-3 to 10-7, preferably 10-4 to 10-6, mole of transition metal per dm3 of solvent or per dm3 of reactor volume. The aluminoxane is used in a concentration from 10-4 to 10-1, preferably 10-3 to 2�10-2, mole per dm3 of solvent or per dm3 of reactor volume, relative to the content of aluminum. In principle, however, higher concentrations are also possible.
Compared with the known state of the art, the process according to the invention is distinguished by the fact that the zirconium compounds preferably used are very temperature-stable in dilute solution, meaning that they can also be used at temperatures up to 80� C.
During the preparation of copolymers, the molar ratios between the cycloolefin and the 1--olefin employed can be varied within a broad range. The incorporation rate of the comonomer can be controlled virtually as desired by choice of the polymerization temperature, the concentration of the catalyst components and the molar ratio employed. A reduction in the polymerization temperature is associated with an increase in the incorporation rate of cycloolefins.
The mean molecular weight of the copolymer formed can be varied in a known manner by varying the catalyst concentration or the temperature. The virtually full independency of the molecular weight on the initial monomer ratio is particularly notable.
The polydispersity Mw /Mn of the copolymers is, at values between 2.9 and 6.0 (4.5), extremely narrow, but differs markedly from the molecular weight distributions of the polyethylenes and polypropylenes prepared using this catalyst system, i.e. Mw /Mn =2. This results in a property profile for the polymers which makes them particularly suitable for injection molding.
The process according to the invention enables, for the first time, the preparation of highly isotactic homopolymers in which the monomer rings are fully retained and for which the following structure can be concluded, on the basis of solid IR and NMR spectroscopic analyses and X-ray analyses: ##STR9##
Astonishingly, these homopolymers are distinguished by the melting point, which is surprisingly high for polyolefins, above the decomposition temperature of above 250� C. In contrast to the amorphous polypentenamers prepared using the known catalysts, the isotactic polycyclopentene, in particular, is distinguished by unusually sharp X-ray defraction lines and thus high crystallinity. The polymer has high resistance to all customary solvents.
The invention is described in greater detail below with reference to examples:
44.3 g of Al2 (SO4)3.H2 O (0.056 mol, corresponding to 1 mol of H2 O) were suspended in 250 cm3 of toluene, 50 cm3 of trimethylaluminum (0.52 mol) were added, and the mixture was reacted at 20� C. After a reaction time of 30 hours, about 0.9 mol of methane had been evolved. The solid aluminum sulfate was subsequently removed from the solution by filtration. By stripping off the toluene, 19.7 g of methylaluminoxane were obtained. The yield was 63% of theory. The mean molecular weight, determined cryoscopically in benzene, was 1170. The mean degree of oligomerization was about 16.
The preparation took place analogously to that described in Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 232 (1982) 233-247.
100 cm3 of cyclopentene, 200 mg of aluminoxane and 5 cm3 of a rac-ethylene(bisindenyl)zirconium dichloride solution were introduced in a counterstream of argon into a 250 cm3 round-bottomed flask filled with argon. The zirconium concentration was 10-4 mol/dm3. The flask was kept at 30� C. in a thermostatically-controlled waterbath, and 13.6 g of a very finely divided white powder were obtained after a reaction time of 90 hours. Debye-Scherrer photographs showed that the sample was highly crystalline. The viscosity number was determined as 30 cm3/ g DSC measurements showed that the product did not melt below the decomposition point but that irreversible conversion occurred from 130� C. The density of the homopolymer was 1.104 g/cm3 (at 23� C. in a gradient column). CP-MAS solid NMR spectra showed that both cis and trans linkages of the cyclopentene units were present.
The procedure was analogous to Example 3, but with the modification that 50 cm3 of cycloheptene and a zirconocene concentration of 2�10-4 mol/dm3 were used. After a reaction time of 19 hours, 8.9 g of a very fine white powder were obtained. The polycycloheptene obtained had substantially comparable properties to the polycyclopentene described in Example 3.
A 1 liter glass autoclave was heated in vacuo, flushed several times and kept at -30� C. by means of a thermostat, and filled with 150 cm3 of toluene, 100 cm3 of cyclopentene and 300 mg of aluminoxane in a counterstream of argon. The ethylene was injected at a pressure of 2 bar and saturation was awaited. The ethylene:cyclopentene molar ratio was 1:15.3. 1 cm3 of rac-ethylene(bisindenyl)zirconium dichloride dissolved in toluene was then added via a pressure-equalizing lock, and the concentration was then 7.4�10-7 mol/dm3 of Zr in the reaction solution. The polymerization commenced immediately with clouding of the reaction batch. After a reaction duration of 45 minutes, the excess pressure was released and the batch was quenched using ethanol. Catalyst residues were removed by stirring with HCl solution, and the polymer was filtered off under suction, washed and subsequently dried to constant weight at 60� C.
The yield of white, pulverulent ethylene-cyclopentene copolymer was 11.4 g, which corresponds to an activity of 19,200 g of copolymer/mol of Zr�s. The viscometrically determined molecular weight Mw was 104,000 g/mol and the GPC measurement gave a Mw /Mn value of 3.5. The incorporation rate of cycloolefin, determined by 13 C NMR spectroscopy, gave a value of 4 mol % of cyclopentene in the copolymer. Melting point 106.5� C.
The polymerization was carried out analogously to Example 5, with the modification that a temperature of -10� C., a Zr concentration of 6.4�10-6 mol/dm3 of Zr and a pressure of 1.25 bar of ethylene, in order to keep the initial molar ratio constant, were used. After a reaction time of 150 minutes, 3.5 g of copolymer were obtained; Mn 223,000 g/mol; incorporation rate of cyclopentene in the copolymer 6.1%; melting point 88.1� C.; Mw /Mn =3.7.
The polymerization was carried out analogously to Example 5, but at a zirconium concentration of 4.0�10-6 mol/dm3 and an ethylene:cyclopentene molar ratio of 1:11.7. After a reaction time of 45 minutes, at an activity of 4,100 g of copolymer/mol of Zr.s, 24.5 g of a dripping product, which was swollen in the moist state, and an elastic polymer which was white in the dry state and contained 18 mol % of cyclopentene were obtained. Besides signals for randomly distributed comonomer, the 13 C NMR spectrum also exhibited signals for cyclopentene sequences in the copolymer. The ratio was about 70:30 mol %. The molecular weight had a value of 20,000, and the molecular weight distribution was Mw /Mn =3.5.
The procedure used was analogous to Example 5. However, a zirconium concentration of 1.5�10-5 mol/dm3 and an ethylene:cyclopentene molar ratio of 1:10.8 were used. The yield was 27.0 g at an activity of 1,750 g of copolymer/mol of Zr.s. The molecular weight had a value of 20,000, the incorporation rate was 28 mol %, and the molecular weight distribution was Mw /Mn =3.6.
The polymerization was carried out analogously to Example 5. However, the cycloolefin used was cycloheptene, and the catalyst concentration was increased to 7.4�10-6 mol/dm3 of Zr in order to obtain an activity of 2,160 g of copolymer/mol of Zr.s. After a polymerization time of 45 minutes, the yield was 8.7 g. The incorporation rate of cycloheptene was, as 3.0 mol %, less than in the case of cyclopentene in Example 3. The molecular weight was determined as 21,000.
The polymerization was carried out analogously to Example 5, with the modification that the cycloolefin employed was cyclooctene. At a catalyst concentration of 3.7�10-5 mol/dm3 of Zr, a yield of 14.7 g was achieved at an activity of 1,500 g of copolymer/mol of Zr.s. The incorporation rate was 1.2 mol %, and the mean molecular weight was 2,000. The melting point of the copolymer dropped to 118.2� C.
