Catalyst design for ethylene polymerisation : a study on long-chain branching

Polyethylene (PE) is the most produced polyolefin worldwide. Since recently discovered long-chain branches (LCB) have been shown to improve the processability, this thesis concentrates on the synthesis of new catalysts capable of producing long-chain branched polyethylene (LCB PE), the investigation...
