Offers a review of tactic polymerization using single-site organometallic catalysts. Beginning with tactic polypropylene synthesis with metallocene catalysts and functional stereoblock polypropylenes and propylene copolymers, it covers polymerization of other mono-olefins, styrene, dienes, acetylenes, and functional vinyl and cyclic monomers. "? covers both fundamental aspects as well as recent advances in stereoselective polymerization using SSC. The scope of the book is formidable ?Most of the 25 review chapters are well written by experts who provide authoritative overviews of each area and extensive references to the primary literature. The introductory material and references (with titles) included in each chapter will be especially valuable to nonexpert readers. ?a reference volume valuable to both experts in the field and beginners or students wishing to learn the fundamentals of stereoselective SSC and polymerization systems. ? an excellent collection of reviews on the stereoselective polymerization with SSC as a whole, not just on the polymerization of olefins. I highly recommend it for both institutional libraries and individual researchers interested in this field." -Eugene Y.-X. Chen, Colorado State University, in Journal of the American Chemical Society
