Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts

A one-stop resource for understanding and applyingpolymerization catalystsAn edited volume featuring contributions from leadingresearchers, the Handbook of Transition Metal PolymerizationCatalysts covers the design and synthesis of catalysts, andtheir applications in synthesis of polymers. Dealing with thosepolymerization catalysts that afford commercially acceptable yieldsof polymer with respect to catalyst mass and promising newercatalysts, this practical reference provides polymer and organicchemists with a comprehensive overview of the known methods fordeveloping and applying these important catalysts.With both recent advances and historically important catalysts,the subjects covered in this text include:* Metal alkyls and other compounds that function as co-catalystswith a large number of catalysts* The varieties of porous silica either necessary or valuable incertain catalyst formulations* Catalyst scale-up and commercialization* Copper catalysts for olefin polymerization* Morphology controlAlong with the above topics, the Handbook of Transition MetalPolymerization Catalysts provides tables of valuable data toassist in reproducing a synthesis or applying the knowledge to anew problem. Polymerization reactivities, polymer properties,monomer and solvent purity requirements, molecular weights,distribution, and reactivity ratios are also covered. TheHandbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts offersan excellent one-stop resource for understanding and applyingpolymerization catalysts.
