Block copolymers form the basis of the most ubiquitous materials such as thermoplastic
elastomers, bridge interphases in polymer blends, and are fundamental for the development …

Current studies on novel, metallocenebased catalysts for the polymerization of α‐olefins
have far‐reaching implications for the development of new materials as well as for the …

The polyolefins production has increased rapidly in the 40 years to make polyolefins the
major tonnage plastics material worldwide. In 2003, 55 million tons of polyethene and 38 …

Even late transition metal complexes function as active and selective catalysts for α‐olefin
polymerization. The discovery of a highly active family of catalysts 1 based on iron, a metal …

The replacement of multistep, salt-generating chemical synthesis with efficient catalyzed
reactions that strive for atom economy1 is having a significant impact on the manufacture of …

What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

Research on “post‐metallocene” polymerization catalysis ranges methodologically from
fundamental mechanistic studies of polymerization reactions over catalyst design to material …
