| dc.description | Polyolefi ns represent approximately 50% by weight of all commodity and com- modity- p lus polymers, which in turn amounts to about 90% by weight of the global polymer production. Today, literally hundreds of polyolefi n grades are available commercially, with an incredible variety of properties and applications, ranging from ultra -r igid thermosets (stiffer than steel, but with the premium of a much lower density) to high - performance elastomers, via all conceivable thermoplastic and elastoplastic materials in between. Yet, if one looks at their chemical composi- tion, polyolefi ns are surprisingly limited: polyethylene, polypropylene, a few copo- lymers of ethene with propene or another alpha- olefi n, and little else. The key reason for this apparent contradiction is the unique and thorough molecular control of the polymerization process that modern transition metal - based catalysts are able to provide. With the correct choice of catalyst system and reaction condi- tions, it is possible to produce polyolefi n materials with precisely defi ned and tunable chain microstructures and molecular mass distributions; this translates into a correspondingly fi ne control in the way such chains crystallize (when they are able to) and fl ow. In addition, a rich toolbox for supramolecular material design provides almost unlimited possibilities for further tailoring and diversifi cation by means of intelligent processing, blending and additives formulations and technologies. | en |
