Informationen zum Autor RAY HOFF is a former research scientist in polymerization catalysts for B.F. Goodrich, Chemplex Company, and Quantum Chemical Corporation and was a member of the adjunct faculty at Roosevelt University in Schaumburg, Illinois. Klappentext The essential guide to the methods for developing and applying polymerization catalysts, revised and updated Revised and updated, the second edition of Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts, offers an essential guide to the transition metal catalysts for the polymerization of olefins. The contributing authors offer information on the detailed synthetic approaches for various categories of catalysts presented in the text. The chapters show how to prepare the catalysts used in polymerization reactions and explores their specific applications in synthesis. The text covers a wide-range of topics and offers an informative guide to the most current methods and reagents. New information is presented on aluminum alkyl and other organometallic compounds, at least one of which is part of every Ziegler-Natta system. This revised edition also includes information on one way to set up a laboratory to test catalysts primarily for ethylene polymerization and copolymerization and presents the subject of neodymium catalysts for ethylene-diene copolymerization. This completely revised edition of Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts: 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 Written for researchers and graduate students of polymer chemistry, polymer physics, organic chemistry and others, the revised second edition of Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts, offers an overview and guide to the various methods for developing and applying polymerization catalysts. Zusammenfassung 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.
