Abstract

Abstract : Ethylene polymerization catalyzed by Ni and Pd catalysts is an area of great interest both in academic research and for industrial production. The structures of Ni and Pd catalysts can dramatically influence polymerization performance. In this review, the influence of newly reported Ni and Pd catalysts on ethylene polymerization, from ligand effects to metal–metal cooperativity, as well as the polymerization conditions, are discussed to provide fresh guidelines for rational design of high‐performances catalysts, highly efficient study of polymerization mechanisms, and successful synthesis of PE variants with unique microstructures and properties. Abstract : This review offers fresh guidelines to rational design of high‐performance catalytic systems with consideration of the structural effects of catalysts (including the effects of ligands and metals) as well as the reaction conditions and synthesis of polyethylene with unique microstructures and properties.
