This review highlights recent developments in the field of biodegradable polymeric materials
intended to replace non-degradable conventional plastics, focusing on studies from the last …

1.1. General Overview Polyolefinic materials, exemplified by polyethylenes (PEs),
polypropylenes (PPs), and ethylene/R-olefin amorphous copolymers, display many notable …

1.1 Background A prolific coupling of polymer science with organometallic chemistry has
recently yielded phenomenal scientific and commercial successes in the production of …

While traditional polymerization of linear α-olefins (LAOs) typically provides amorphous, low
T g polymers, chain-straightening polymerization represents a route to semicrystalline …

The aim of the present review is to highlight the most recent achievements in different fields
of application of salen-based zinc and aluminum complexes. More specifically this article …

Moderately isospecific homopolymerization of propylene and the copolymerization of
propylene and polar monomers have been achieved with palladium complexes bearing a …

The polymerization of ethylene with late transition metal complexes typically provides highly
branched amourphous poly (ethylene) s through a chain-walking mechanism, while the …

The majority of commercial polyolefins are produced by coordination polymerization using
early or late transition metal catalysts. Molecular catalysts containing these transition metals …

Transition-metal-catalyzed coordination–insertion polymerization of olefins is an
indispensable tool in polymer synthesis. When polar monomers with polar functional groups …

The organonickel complexes are organometallic compounds containing a Ni–C σ-bond (σ-
complexes). These species are very reactive and have been mainly characterized as the …
