Abstract: High isotactic polybutene-1 was well known for its excellent properties.The catalytic features and the composites of Ziegler-Natta catalysts and metallocene catalysts used for the synthesis of high isotactic polybutene-1(H-iPB)were reviewed.The polymerization processes including slurry polymerization,liquid bulk polymerization(homogeneous phase and heterogeneous phase),and vapor polymerization for H-iPB synthesis were introduced in detail.The features of those three polymerization processes,especially the advantages and disadvantages of liquid bulk polymerization process were illustrated.The development tendency of high isotactic polybutene-1polymerization process in future was pointed out.
