Journal ArticleDOI
Chain Walking: A New Strategy to Control Polymer Topology
TL;DR: Although the overall branching number and the distribution of short-chain branching change very slightly, the architecture or topology of the polyethylene changes from linearpolyethylene with moderate branches at high ethylene pressures to a hyperbranched polyethylenes at low pressures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Branching Topology in Polyethylenes As Revealed by Light Scattering and 13C NMR
TL;DR: In this article, a group of polyethylenes synthesized using palladium α-diimine catalysts were studied using 13C NMR spectroscopy, intensity light scattering, dynamic light scattering and viscometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
13C and 2D NMR Analysis of Propylene Polymers Made with α-Diimine Late Metal Catalysts†

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanistic description of catalyst behavior has been developed to explain the observed microstructures of polypropylenes made by 1,2-insertions to give syndiotactic placements via chain end control.

Journal ArticleDOI
Surface properties and metathesis synthesis of block copolymers including perfluoroalkyl-ended polyethylenes
TL;DR: In this article, the surface tension of linear polyethylene with fluoroalkyl end groups was obtained by ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclodecene in the presence of partially fluorinated acyclic olefins.
