Polyolefins have dominated materials technology over the last century and remain among
the most used materials, despite environmental problems have emerged and their public …

The preparation of well-defined functionalized polyolefins via coordination-insertion
polymerization method is a hot topic in polymer science. Late transition organometallic …

The Brookhart-type α-diimine nickel and palladium catalysts are one of the most examined
systems in the field of olefin polymerization. Even after more than twenty years of extensive …

Abstract α-Diimine Ni and Pd complexes are one of the most examined late-transition
organometallics in the application of catalyzed ethylene (co) polymerization. These …

Homogeneous nickel catalysts have a considerable track record for mediating ethylene
chain growth in the form of oligomerization and more recently polymerization. Within the …

For transition metal-based olefin polymerization catalysts, ligand steric and electronic effects
can strongly influence important catalytic properties. However, the simultaneous tuning of …

The fascination of the well-defined metal catalysts for olefin polymerization is their capability
to control the properties of the polymer such as topology (linear to highly branched), range of …

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) can be easily molded, extruded, and reused like plastics
and exhibit typical elastic properties like rubbers. They are widely used in the automotive …

So far, ligand steric effects of the α-diimine nickel catalysts on the polyolefin branching
densities are not systematically investigated. Generally, in contrast to the α-diimine …

As a promising alternative to thermoset elastomers, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have
attracted much attention because of their unique properties, including processability …
