Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts

Including recent advances and historically important catalysts, this book overviews methods for developing and applying polymerization catalysts – dealing with polymerization catalysts that afford commercially acceptable high yields of polymer with respect to catalyst mass or productivity.

•    Contains the valuable data needed to reproduce syntheses or use the catalyst for new applications

•    Offers a guide to the design and synthesis of catalysts, and their applications in synthesis of polymers

•    Includes the information essential for choosing the appropriate reactions to maximize yield of polymer synthesized

•    Presents new chapters on vanadium catalysts, Ziegler catalysts, laboratory homopolymerization, and copolymerization
