Alkene Polymerization Reactions with Transition Metal Catalysts

During the past 30 years, the field of alkene polymerization over transition metal catalysts
1. The list of commercial heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts for the synthesis of the polygon and the stereoregular polyolefins was completely renewed.
2. Research devoted to metallocene and other soluble transition-metal catalysis has vastly expanded and shifted toward complexes of transition metals with multidentate ligands.
3. recent developments in gel permeation chromatography, temperature-rising fractionation, and crystallization.
4. A rapid development of high-resolution 13C NMR spectroscopy in polyolefins and alkene copolymers.
The development of alkene polymerization reactions with transition-metal catalysts. The first chapter in the book is an introduction to the field. It generates the basic principles of catalysts, and commercially manufactured polyolefins.
The next chapter addresses the principal issue of catalysts. The next chapters are devoted to chemistry and stereochemistry of elemental reaction, kinetics of polymerization reactions, and their mechanisms.

The synthesis of the latest commercial polymerization catalysts for the synthesis of polyethylene and polypropylene
The book provides a detailed description of the multi-center nature of commercial Ziegler-Natta catalysts.
The book devotes specialized chemistry and the polymerization mechanism.
The book contains an introduction to the field of polymerization catalysis. It generates the principle of polyolefins and copolymers.
The book contains over 2000 references, the most recent up to end of 2006.
