Abstract:The structural and morphological characterization of individual catalyst particles for olefin polymerization, as well as for the reverse process of polyolefin decomposition, can provide an improved understanding for how these catalysts operate under reaction conditions. In this review, we discuss an emerging toolbox of chemical imaging techniques that is suitable for investigating the chemistry and reactivity of related catalysts. While synchrotron‐based X‐ray microscopy still provides spatial resolutions in … Show more
