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
