Polyethylene Building Blocks by Catalyzed Chain Growth and Efficient End Functionalization Strategies,Including Click Chemistry

摘要

Polyethylene and polypropylene are the largest volume thermoplastics manufactured in the world,and new polymer materials based on these polymers could have a strong impact on our everyday life.The combination of the excellent chemical and physical properties of polyolefins along with their low cost of manufacture makes this class of polymer very attractive for commercial purposes.The modification of polyolefins has always been both an academic and an industrial challenge.
