This introductory text is an important resource for new engineers,
chemists, students, and chemical industry personnel to understand the
technical aspects of polypropylene which is the 2nd largest synthetics
polymer in manufactured output.
The book considers the following topics:
- What are the principal types of polypropylene and how do they differ?
- What catalysts are used to produce polypropylene and how do they
function?
- What is the role of cocatalysts and how have they evolved over the
years?
- How are industrial polypropylene catalysts tested and the resultant
polymer evaluated?
- What processes are used in the manufacture of polypropylene?
- What are the biopolymer alternatives to polypropylene?
- What companies are the major industrial manufacturers of
polypropylene?
- What is the environmental fate of polypropylene?
