Chain-walking Polymerization

Chain-Walking Polymerization is a catalytic polymerization mechanism in olefin polymerization wherein the active metal center repeatedly migrates along the growing polymer chain via successive β-hydride elimination and reinsertion steps, enabling unique microstructural control and branching topology formation distinct from conventional chain-growth processes.
