During the 1920's Hermann Staudinger, who was awarded the Nobel prize in 1953,
introduced his revolutionary concept of high molecular weight macromolecules and …

The subject of metallocenes, their synthesis, structural characterization, and application to
catalysis, has been a very active area of research as evidenced by the sheer volume of …

Polyolefins are the most widely used commercial polymers and their functionalization has
been a long standing scientific challenge and an industrially important area. In recent …

Polyolefins, including polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), represent more than half of
commercial polymers produced in the world. They are known to be cost-effective and good …

After the first preparation of syndiotactic polystyrene in 1985, the synthesis of this polymer
has gained much interest in the last decade especially in catalyst and polymerization …

A systematic study of the scope and limitations of B− H chain transfer agents during
metallocene-mediated olefin polymerization is discussed in this contribution. The …

The homopolymerization of a polar monomer, 4-methylthiostyrene (MTS), was successfully
achieved by a rare-earth metal based catalyst in the highest activity of 45.1× 104 g molY–1 h …

The present review aims at a comprehensive survey of controlled stereospecific styrene
polymerization by single-site catalysts to give syndiotactic and isotactic polystyrene. The …

Copolymerization of ethylene and styrene in the presence of the catalytic system η5-
C5Me5Ti (CH2Ph) 3− B (C6F5) 3 has been investigated. Independently from the feed …

The polymerization of halide-substituted styrenes (XSt) and their copolymerization with
styrene by half-sandwich scandium catalysts with and without a THF ligand have been …
