Market research solutions provider, Research and Markets has announced the inclusion of the book titled “Introduction to Industrial Polypropylene Properties, Catalysts Processes" to its product offering. The book is authored by Dennis B. Malpass and Elliot Band and is published by John Wiley and Sons.
The book is split into 13 chapters and is intended to serve as a complementary courseware for college courses in polymer chemistry. The question and answer sections at the end of each chapter serve to emphasize the key points elucidated in the respective chapter.
The book will be useful for students, chemists and engineers to understand the basics of industrial polypropylene. The technical descriptions are simplified to ensure comprehension of the concepts by a person possessing basic training in chemistry. The book also offers practical elucidation of polypropylene technology. Some of the topics covered in the book are propylene polymerization catalysts, polypropylene manufacturing and processing, Ziegler-Natta catalysts, single site catalysts and cocatalysts and the part played by them in polyolefins industry and laboratory synthesis of catalysts.
The discovery of crystalline polypropylene in the early 1950s was followed by commencement of commercial production in Germany, Italy and USA in 1957. Polypropylene subsequently became one of the most vital synthetic polymers with current annual global production pegged at 48 million metric tons.
