Book Description
Metal-Catalyzed Polymerization: Fundamentals to Applications focuses on the fundamentals of metal mediated/catalyzed insertion (Ziegler-Natta) polymerization, carbene polymerization, controlled/living radical polymerization (CRP/LRP), organometallic mediated radical polymerization (OMRP) methods. It surveys a wide variety of metal-catalyzed polymerization reactions, making it essentially a "one stop" review in the field. A significant contribution to polymer science is "metathesis polymerization," discovered by Grubbs and others. The book covers various metathesis polymerization methods and implications in polymer industry. The classical C-C bond coupling reactions, such as Suzuki-Miyaura, Stille, Heck, Negishi, Sonogashira coupling, are being increasingly used to prepare condensation polymers. The book presents the basics and state-of-the-art developments in this up and coming field of metal-catalyzed condensation polymerization. Features, Summarizes the state-of-the-art development in the field of metal-catalyzed polymerization, Balances polymer synthesis and organometallic chemistry, Outlines recent advances with basic chemistry and applications, Covers metal-catalyzed polymerization in all categories, Outlines industrial applications Book jacket.
