Abstract

This paper focuses on ligands and its role in metallocene PP polymerization. This paper will cover section of Ligands effect and measurement of size of ligands. The major drawback of such catalysts is the cost of their synthesis. Many efforts are being made to reduce the cost of synthesis so that process can be carried out on large scale. Ligands play a key role in tacticity of PP polymers. An increase in the production of metallocene catalyst has brought a revolution in the polymer industry.
