Morphology control in metallocene-catalyzed polyolefin synthesis

Abstract

The main aim of the work presented in this dissertation was the morphology control in metallocene-catalyzed polyolefin synthesis. This was studied by selective immobilization techniques on a variety of supports such as porous polyurethane particles (Chapter 3), electrospun fibers (Chapter 4 and 5), inorganic-organic hybrid core-shell particles (Chapter 6) and hollow silica particles (Chapter 7). Another aspect of this dissertation was modulating a catalytic activity by controlling a size of boron-based cocatalysts (Chapter 8).
