Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts

A one–stop resource for understanding and applying polymerization catalysts
An edited volume featuring contributions from leading researchers, the Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts covers the design and synthesis of catalysts, and their applications in synthesis of polymers. Dealing with those polymerization catalysts that afford commercially acceptable yields of polymer with respect to catalyst mass and promising newer catalysts, this practical reference provides polymer and organic chemists with a comprehensive overview of the known methods for developing and applying these important catalysts.
With both recent advances and historically important catalysts, the subjects covered in this text include:
Metal alkyls and other compounds that function as co–catalysts with a large number of catalysts
The varieties of porous silica either necessary or valuable in certain catalyst formulations
Catalyst scale–up and commercialization
Copper catalysts for olefin polymerization
Morphology control
Along with the above topics, the Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts provides tables of valuable data to assist in reproducing a synthesis or applying the knowledge to a new problem. Polymerization reactivities, polymer properties, monomer and solvent purity requirements, molecular weights, distribution, and reactivity ratios are also covered. The Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts offers an excellent one–stop resource for understanding and applying polymerization catalysts.

Nota biograficzna:

Ray Hoff is a member of the adjunct faculty at Roosevelt University in Schaumburg, Illinois. He is a former research scientist in polymerization catalysts for B.F. Goodrich, Chemplex Company, and Quantum Chemical Corporation. He holds twenty–seven U.S. patents in the field of polymerization catalysts, and his silica–based catalyst inventions scaled up to manufacturing more than 100 million pounds of production in the U.S. and the Netherlands.
Robert T. Mathers is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Penn State University. He has coauthored over twenty scientific papers in the areas of anionic, metallocene, and ring–opening polymerizations, and holds one U.S. patent. After receiving a BS (1996) in chemistry from North Carolina State University and a PhD (2002) in polymer science from the University of Akron, he spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at Cornell University in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. Currently, Dr. Mathers research investigates new methods to integrate renewable resources and catalysis.
