Seminar- “Designing Novel Polyethylenes of Controlled Complex Chain Architectures by Palladium-Catalyzed Ethylene Polymerization” by Dr. Zhibin Ye, Bharti School of Engineering, Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario
ABSTRACT: Chain architecture or topology of polymers is a critically important structural parameter governing intrinsically their physical properties and applications. The rapid developments in polymerization techniques, particularly “living”/controlled polymerization techniques, in the past two decades have enabled the precision synthesis of novel polymers having a broad class of complex yet well-defined chain architectures from different monomer stocks.
