Features: Post-transition metal catalysts are a rapidly developing new catalytic system in the field of polymerization reactions in the nearly ten years following Ziegler-Natta catalysts. Their significant feature is the ability to initiate copolymerization of polar monomers and non-polar olefins, thereby enabling the development of innovative polymer materials. This book, co-authored by multiple international authorities, systematically elaborates on the academic and industrial research frontiers from the perspectives of basic science and polymer applications, providing a comprehensive overview of the current status of these fascinating and rapidly evolving fields. The book consists of nine chapters, focusing on the design of imine and phosphorane ylide catalyst structures, the preparation of cyclic lipid materials, copolymerization of polar/non-polar monomers, polymerization in aqueous media using organometallics, as well as the current research status of ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and metathesis polymerization of non-cyclic dienes (ADMET). This book is highly recommended and organized for translation by the distinguished academician Huang Baotong of our country. As the most systematic academic work in this field internationally, it is an indispensable reference for researchers in catalytic chemistry, polymer chemistry and synthesis, materials science, and other related fields, as well as for university teachers and graduate students in these disciplines.
