Abstract
AbstractThis chapter firstly explains the basic terms and concepts concerning olefin polymerization and polymer synthesis, and then provides comprehensive yet concise commentaries on olefin polymerization by metallocene catalysts. In Sect. 1.1 (Introduction), the history of olefin polymerization catalysts is briefly reviewed with a focus on the uniformity of the active species. In Sect. 1.2 are described the elementary process of olefin polymerization by transition metal catalysts and the molecular weight distributions of produced polymers. The tacticity and stereoregularity of vinyl polymer are explained in Sect. 1.3, where the relation between the microtacticity of the stereoregular polymer and the mechanism of stereospecific polymerization is described in detail. Section 1.4 deals with copolymerization with two kinds of monomers on the basis of kinetics and probability theory. In Sect. 1.5, are described the basics of metallocene catalysts and their characteristics in propylene polymerization and copolymerization of olefins.KeywordsEthylene PolymerizationIsotactic PolypropyleneMetallocene CatalystCyclic Olefin CopolymerOlefin PolymerizationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
