Recent Trends in Catalytic Polymerizations

Abstract

Polymers have become one of the largest and most important materials we use in daily life. Their popularity has stemmed from their wide range of material properties combined with their low cost of production. Both of these attractive traits have in part been enabled by the development of catalytic polymerizations, which provide both high levels of control while also delivering high levels of productivity. In this Perspective, we highlight recent trends and achievements made in the growing field of catalytic polymerizations.
