N1  - Ziegler-Natta Catalysts and Polymerizations reviews the general aspects of Ziegler-Natta catalysts and polymerizations of olefins, dienes, and many other types of monomers. Topics covered include the physical state of the polymer during polymerization; modification of Ziegler-Natta catalysts by third components; and termination of polymer chain growth. The oxidation state of catalysts and active centers is also discussed, along with copolymerizations and block polymerizations. This book is comprised of 23 chapters and begins with an overview of Ziegler-Natta catalysts and polymerizations, their historical origins, scientific and commercial importance, and major advances in polymer science. The next chapter focuses on definitions and stereochemistry of Ziegler-Natta catalysts, together with analytical methods used to identify and quantitatively measure their structures. Some of the polymers produced commercially with Ziegler-Natta catalysts are considered. The discussion then turns to mechanisms for initiating and propagating olefins; mechanisms for stereochemical control of conjugated and nonconjugated dienes; and the basic kinetic parameters that characterize Ziegler-Natta polymerizations. This monograph is written especially for chemistry and engineering graduate students and for industrial chemists, engineers, and managers who may become involved in a Ziegler-Natta problem; HIGHLIGHTS OF ZIEGLERNATTA CATALYSTS AND POLYMERIZATIONS GENESIS OF ZIEGLERNATTA CATALYSTS DEFINITIONS STEREOCHEMISTRY EXPERIMENTAL METHODS AND COMMERCIAL POLYMERS EMICAL DESCRIPTION OF ZIEGLERNATTA CATALYSTS FOR OLEFINS THE CHEMICAL DESCRIPTION OF CATALYSTS FOR CONJUGATED DIENES INITIAL PHYSICAL STATE OF THE CATALYST PHYSICAL STATE OF THE POLYMER DURING POLYMERIZATION GROWTH OF THE POLYMER PARTICLE MODIFICATION OF ZIEGLERNATTA CATALYSTS BY THIRD COMPONENTS TERMINATION OF POLYMER CHAIN GROWTH OXIDATION STATE OF CATALYSTS AND ACTIVE CENTERS METAL ALKYLFREE CATALYSTS MECHANISMS FOR INITIATION AND PROPAGATION OF OLEFINS MECHANISMS FOR INITIATION AND PROPAGATION OF DIENES MECHANISMS FOR STEREOCHEMICAL CONTROL OF αOLEFINS MECHANISMS FOR STEREOCHEMICAL CONTROL OF CONJUGATED AND NONCONJUGATED DIENES MECHANISMS FOR STEREOCHEMICAL CONTROL OF STEREOSELECTIVE AND STEREOELECTIVE ISOTACTIC PROPAGA KINETICS POLYMERIZATION OF MONOMERS COPOLYMERIZATIONS BLOCK POLYMERIZATIONS OTHER USES OF THE ZIEGLERNATTA CATALYST FINAL COMMENTS AND OUTLOOK
