✦ Synopsis

The intent of this book is to provide chemists, engineers and students an introduction to the essentials of industrial polypropylene—what it is, how it’s made and fabricated, the markets it serves and its environmental fate. Technical aspects are described in a straightforward way with minimal discussion of esoteric theory such that a person with even a modicum of training in chemistry should be able to grasp. The purpose is to show practical, down-to-earth interpretations of polypropylene technology.

Specifically, the book elucidates;

• Ziegler-Natta catalysts
• Propylene polymerization catalysts
• Single Site catalysts and cocatalysts
• Polypropylene manufacturing and processing
• Catalysts synthesis in the laboratory\ Testing
• Various downstream aspects of industrial polypropylene such as biopolymers alternatives and additives.
