Outline

Polypropylene is used world wide as one of the most common plastic materials. One the other hand, low adhesive ability, misibility, and dyeability reftricts its application. Here in this study, we will develop new catalysts applicable to the copolymerization of propylene with polar monomers based on the precise design of space around the metal catalysts. The research goral will be the development of new generation polypropylene.
