Polypropylene was produced in gas phase and liquid phase using different supported Ziegler‐Natta‐catalysts. Sorption behaviour of propylene in polymer particles was studied gravimetrically. The analyzed polymer fractions have average diameters between 250 and 875 µm. Generally it was found that the effective diffusion coefficient is increasing with increasing size of polymer particles. With electron microscopy a change of polymer particle morphology with particle size and type of catalysts was observed.
