Catalysis is at the core of chemistry and has been essential to make all the goods
surrounding us, including fuels, coatings, plastics and other functional materials. In the near …

This first-of-its-kind review discusses the hydrodynamics for polyolefin productions in slurry
reactors using CFD. Past reviews in this field are specifically focused on the CFD …

This article gives a wide overview of different types of mathematical models that can be used
to describe the polymerization of linear olefins with coordination catalysts. We expanded the …

Efficient fragmentation of catalyst particles during the polymerization of olefins is a
necessary process to maintain catalyst activity and obtain discrete polymer particles with …

Chain entanglement was very important for adjusting the processability and mechanical
property of nascent ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). So far, it is still a …

A multivariate aspect has hampered the clarification of structure-performance relationships
in heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization catalysis. Here, 16 catalyst samples …

Catalysts and polymerization processes have evolved over the years. Such significant
developments have allowed producers to broaden the range of polymer microstructure and …

Slurry polymerization processes using Zeigler–Natta catalysts, are most widely used for the
production of polyethylene due to their several advantages over other processes. Significant …

Establishing a relationship between structural characteristics of a catalyst system and
morphology of polymer particles, on the one hand, and the kinetic characteristics of the …

Different approaches to modeling the gas phase polymerization of ethylene that have been
considered in the literature are reviewed. It is shown that while simple, well‐mixed models …
