Recent developments in vanadium-catalyzed olefin coordination polymerization

Polyolefins account for two thirds by weight of the global synthetic polymers. There are more than 300 grades of commercial polyolefins, whose properties depend on their microstructures being varied according to the type of catalyst used in the production process and ultimately on the final method of manufacture. Despite having catalytic activities not higher than those of common catalysts, vanadium-based catalysts display several advantages,...
