Principles of Coordination Polymerisation, is one of the first books to offer a unified and almost complete view of coordination polymerisation. It focuses on the polymerisation of monomers, belonging to all the important classes of hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbon monomers, in the presence of various kinds of coordination catalysts.

Taking a user-friendly approach the book examines how the catalyst is involved in each step of the monomer coordination polymerisation process and presents:

• the basic mechanisms which occur during the coordination polymerisation process
• coordination polymerisation of unsaturated hydrocarbon monomers, such as olefins
• problems connected with coordination polymerisation of non-hydrocarbon monomers, such as heterocyclic and heterounsaturated monomers
• the role of co-polymerisation in the plastics and rubber industries
• useful problem exercises at the end of each chapter
