Olefin Polymerization: Emerging Frontiers

Polyolefins, polymer-based unsaturated hydrocarbons with one C-C bond, are one of the most widely used polymers in the world. They include ethylene and propylene and have well-known applications in such ubiquitous fields as food packaging. This book provides a state-of-the-art perspective on basic research in polyolefin chemistry. Topics include new developments in catalysis of the polymerization, mechanisms of polymerization, and polymer properties.
