Description
Polyolefins are the most widely used commercial polymers and their functionalization has been a long standing scientific challenge and an industrially important area. In recent decades significant progress has been made in the area, with exciting results reported in many journals.
Functionalization of Polyolefins is the first book to summarize the significant experimental results on the functionalization of polyolefins and classify them into several chemical methods (shown in each chapter of this book). The book also provides an update on the functional polyolefin materials available today.
The two key subject categories covered are:
- Chemical approaches in the functionalization of polyolefins
- New available polyolefin materials and their potential applications
The book includes:
- The historic development and future prospects for polyolefins
- Functionalization chemistry, classified into four general approaches
- Chemical approaches with experimental results
- Functionalization approaches
The book provides an invaluable reference for researchers in industry and academia interested in functionalization chemistry and polymers. It has been developed through Professor Chung's own teaching experience, both at Pennsylvania State University and on short courses. It is therefore ideally suited as a core text for advanced polymer chemistry and courses on polyolefins and polymers, as well
