Experimental Validation of the Molecular Weight Distribution (MWD) and Chemical Composition Distribution (CCD) Deconvolution Method for Polyolefins Made with Ziegler-Natta Catalysts
DownloadFall 2021
Polyolefins are important commodity polymers. They account for more than 50 wt% of the total polymers produced in the world. Ziegler-Natta and Phillips catalysts, discovered in 1950, revolutionized the material science arena. Even 70 years after their invention, they continue to be responsible...

Mapping the Microstructure of Single-Site Ethylene/1- Hexene Copolymers Using Response Surface Methods
DownloadSpring 2022
Polyolefins are a commercially important class of polymers made only of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Polyethylene accounts for a sizable fraction of commercial polyolefins, covering applications from packaging films, water tanks, biomedical equipment, bulletproof vests, and adhesives. The use of a...
