Recent Advances in Phenoxy-Based Catalysts for Olefin Polymerization

Abstract

Abstract Olefiin polymerization behavior of phenoxy-based catalysts has been discussed. Phenoxy-based olefin polymerization catalysts are capable of showing high catalytic activities. Moreover, the phenoxy-based catalysts can display unique catalytic properties and thus have offered opportunities to make polyolefinic materials that are difficult or impossible to prepare using conventional catalysts. Therefore, the phenoxy-based catalysts have opened up a new dimension in the fields of olefin polymerization catalysis and polymer synthesis.
