Propene was polymerised at high temperatures (up to 90 °C) using rac ‐[Me 2 Si(2‐Me‐4‐( α ‐naphthyl)‐1‐Ind) 2 ]ZrCl 2 /MAO as the catalytic system. The increasing deactivation reaction rate of the catalyst for polymerisations above 60 °C was less for a silica supported catalyst compared with the homogeneous one. The isotacticity of polypropene decreases from 99 to 96%. Also the morphology changes with different temperatures.Increasing of the thermal stability for the rac ‐[Me 2 Si(2‐Me‐4‐( α ‐naphthyl)‐1‐Ind) 2 ]ZrCl 2 /MAO/SiO 2 with respect of the rac ‐[Me 2 Si(2‐Me‐4‐( α ‐naphthyl)‐1‐Ind) 2 ]ZrCl 2 /MAO system.
