Statistical analysis of parameters involved in the synthesis of polar copolymers using a nickel (II) α-diimine complex

Demystifying the two-sided role of inorganic halides in the structure and performance of Ziegler–Natta catalysts

“…All glassware, reactors, and fittings were washed three times with deionized water, dried, and treated with a triethylaluminum solution in n-hexane to ensure the absence of moisture and oxygen. 3,28,[31][32][33][34][35][36] 2.1. Materials n-Hexane, which was used as the polymerization medium, and ultra-pure ethylene gas (purity >99.9%) were kindly provided by a working high-density polyethylene plant (Jam Petrochemical Company).…”

Clarifying the effects of comonomer distribution between short and long chains on physical and mechanical properties of ethylenic copolymers

“…Synthetic polymers, especially polyethylene and polypropylene, play an undeniable role in today's society and many aspects of our lives depend on them. [1][2][3][4] Nevertheless, our knowledge about their structural features and the effects of these features on their physical and mechanical properties are limited. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] One of the deterministic structural features that its effects should be demystified is comonomer distribution.…”
