This book brings the most recent advances in metallocene technology. In the first part of the book, catalysts and their effect and economy are discussed for the major groups of polymers in which these catalysts found their commercial applications. The well-known specialists in the field discuss the details of the metallocene technology. The second part discusses the effect of metallocene catalysts on key processing properties of metallocene catalyzed polymers. Morphology, crystallization behavior, structure, rheological properties and the others and their effect on processing parameters are discussed here. It is stressed that polymers can be tailored and optimized for application in mind. The third part of the book deals with processing of this new group of materials available in the market. Also, potential benefits of these new products are discussed together with a comparison with the properties of traditional materials used for applications at present. This gives the information to the manufacturers on what is to be expected in the future markets. The last is further developed in the series of contributions on the impact of metallocene catalyzed polymers on the future position of various traditional polymeric materials.
