Catalysts for isotactic polar polypropylenes Date: October 30, 2020 Source: Wiley Summary: Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most widely used plastics in the world. By controlling the spatial ...

To address ocean plastic waste, a research group at Cornell has developed high-strength synthetic polymers called isotactic polypropylene oxide (iPPO).

Leibfarth said he was inspired by the work of Nobel Prize-winning chemists Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, who developed a catalyst that produces isotactic polyolefins, such as polypropylene.

Identification of Type and Polymorphism After analysis, a comparison of acquired results to the ICDD PDF4+ Organic database clearly confirmed that the results showed high-density Polyethylene (HDPE) ...
