Giulio Natta – författare

Stereoregular Polymers and Stereospecific Polymerizations, Volume 2 covers the reactions and physico-chemical properties of various polymers. This volume is divided into 88 chapters, and starts with the survey of the molecular structure, stereospecific polymerization, and reaction kinetics of styrene. Considerable chapters are devoted to copolymerization reaction, crystallinity of block copolymers, and molecular weight and isotactic behavior determination. Other chapters examine other polymer properties, such as elastomeric activity, enthalpy, entropy, and resonance of energy. This book also considers the polymerization of vinyl monomers, conjugated diolefins, and butadienes. These topics are followed by presentations of various metallic complexes as polymerization reaction catalysts. The remaining chapters describe the proposed nomenclature of polymer products obtained from other stereospecific polymerization reactions. This book will prove useful to polymer chemists.

Stereoregular Polymers and Stereospecific Polymerizations: The Contributions of Guilio Natta and his School to Polymer Chemistry, Volume 1 covers the developments in understanding the reactions, nomenclature, and physico-chemical properties of polymers. This volume is composed of 82 chapters, and starts with surveys of the synthesis and crystal structure of polymers. Significant chapters are devoted to the characterization of crystalline polymers, with emphasis on the determination of their viscosity and molecular weight. Other chapters deal with stereospecific polymers of olefins, mechanism of stereospecific catalysis, reaction kinetics. This volume also considers the polymerization of synthetic elastomers and the copolymerization of olefins, as well as their reaction kinetics. The remaining chapters describe the X-ray characterization of isotactic polymers. This book is directed toward polymer chemists.
