The Handbook of Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysts provides an up-to-date overview of various transition metal species and their utility in polymerization. The sixteen chapters offer complete coverage of both early and late transition metal catalysts as well as heterogeneous and homogeneous approaches.... The contributions to this handbook are very well written by an appropriate balance of industrial and academic experts.... This authoritative compilation is sure to be invaluable to anyone working near the intersection of transition metals and polymerization chemistry. ?Stephen A. Miller, University of Florida

Author Information

Ray Hoff is a member of the adjunct faculty at Roosevelt University in Schaumburg, Illinois. He is a former research scientist in polymerization catalysts for B.F. Goodrich, Chemplex Company, and Quantum Chemical Corporation. He holds twenty-seven U.S. patents in the field of polymerization catalysts, and his silica-based catalyst inventions scaled up to manufacturing more than 100 million pounds of production in the U.S. and the Netherlands. Robert T. Mathers is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Penn State University. He has coauthored over twenty scientific papers in the areas of anionic, metallocene, and ring-opening polymerizations, and holds one U.S. patent. After receiving a BS (1996) in chemistry from North Carolina State University and a PhD (2002) in polymer science from the University of Akron, he spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at Cornell University in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. Currently, Dr. Mathers research investigates new methods to integrate renewable resources and catalysis.
