Abstract

Catalytic polymerization processes have become increasingly important as the use of plastics has escalated throughout the world. Many common plastics were discovered in the 1930s, and after the 1939–1945 war this created a demand for petrochemical intermediates derived from the refining industry. Ethylene and propylene are now common building blocks for plastics and by the year 2000, polyethylene, polypropylene and their copolymers were the most widely used plastic materials. The gradual development of polyolefin production is shown in Table 8.1.
