This introductory text is an important resource for newengineers, chemists, students, and chemical industry personnel tounderstand the technical aspects of polypropylene which is the 2ndlargest synthetics polymer in manufactured output.
The book considers the following topics:
* What are the principal types of polypropylene and how do theydiffer?
* What catalysts are used to produce polypropylene and how dothey function?
* What is the role of cocatalysts and how have they evolved overthe years?
* How are industrial polypropylene catalysts tested and theresultant polymer evaluated?
* What processes are used in the manufacture ofpolypropylene?
* What are the biopolymer alternatives to polypropylene?
* What companies are the major industrial manufacturers ofpolypropylene?
* What is the environmental fate of polypropylene?

Über Autor(innen)

Dennis B. Malpass received his PhD in organometallicchemistry from The University of Tennessee in 1970 and began hiscareer with Texas Alkyls, Inc. (now AkzoNobel). His industrialcareer spanned thirty-three years working on synthesis,characterization, and applications of metal alkyls, especiallyaluminum alkyls in Ziegler-Natta polymerization of olefins. He hasmore than eighty patents and publications and now consults in thepolyolefins industry. He also teaches organic chemistry and is aninstructor for continuing education courses for SPE and ACS. In2010 he authored Introduction to IndustrialPolyethylene.
Elliot I. Band received his PhD in inorganic chemistryfrom Cornell University in 1980. He has been in research anddevelopment with AkzoNobel and its predecessor companies for overthirty years. His tenure includes twenty years in Ziegler-Nattacatalyst synthesis, manufacture, quality control, and technicalsupport to polypropylene manufacturers in North and South America.He presently manages a group of chemists and engineers thatdevelops new cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants forAkzoNobel. Elliot has thirty publications and more than twentypatents.
