This book provides a comprehensive history of the discovery and technological development over four decades of polypropylene (and many derivative polymers).
Contents: Unsupported PP Catalysts. PP Processes with Unsupported Catalysts. Early Supported Catalyss. Third Generation Catalysts - the Breakthrough. Fourth Generation Supported PP Catalysts. New Manufacturing Processes. Product Developments. Commercial Developments. Continuing Technology Growth. Expanding Technologies. Summary. Index.
Review: "This volume is more than a rich history of frustration and success, exaction and excitement
in the demanding and rewarding field of
supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts for polypropylene. It is an exemplar of the successful research for riches that all technologically founded companies seek." Philip A. Roussel, Director Emeritus, Arthur D. Little, Inc.

"A remarkable monograph.
The author has done a great job and should be warmly applauded. The book should be acquired by all polymer chemists as a text describing one of the most important developments in polymer catalysis and, in addition, should be acquired by all serious science libraries. The text should also be read by other chemists and chemical engineers as a wonderful example of innovation in the chemical industry." (Reactive and Functional Polymers Vol.40, No. 3/99)
