Coordinative chain transfer polymerization, CCTP, is a degenerative chain transfer
polymerization process that has a wide range of applications. It allows a highly controlled …

Precise synthesis of the complex polymer structure has been long-sought. In the late
transition-metal catalyzed olefin polymerization, chain walking and chain transfer are two …

Less than 10% of plastics are recycled worldwide, among which polyolefins, which form two-
thirds of all produced polymers, are the most discarded ones. This stems from the nonpolar …

Plastics offer several advantages, but their production and disposal processes have severe
environmental implications. To overcome these issues, there is a need to switch from the …

Abstract Poly (α-olefin)(PAO) type synthetic lubricants have attracted considerable interest in
both the academic and industrial sectors in the last two decades. The continuous growth of …

The role of the pore architecture of the Ziegler-Natta (ZN) catalysts in the propylene
polymerizations is unveiled, towards the catalyst activity, H 2–and comonomer-response …

Transient polymer networks with a temporal hierarchy of energy dissipation have
advantages in many applications, ranging from injectable hydrogels to self-healing …

Generally, it is usually difficult to obtain lightly branched polyethylene with a very high
molecular weight using bulky α-diimine Ni (II) catalysts. In this study, a family of …

Semicrystalline polyethylene (PE) and amorphous poly (ethylene-co-norbornene)
copolymers have been used in a wide variety of applications, especially in packaging. It is a …

The tuning of branching density and branch-type distribution of the polyolefin through the
ligand modification in “chain-walking”-type late transition metal catalysts is highly desired …
