Constrained geometry catalysts for the production of polymers
Project ID: D2009-89 Background Polymerization reactions are used in industry to make widely used products, such as polyolefins. There has been an interest in improving control over polymer tacticity and co-polymerization, leading to the development of Constrained Geometry Catalysts (CGCs). The CGCs form complexes with a pi-bonded moiety bridged...

Homogenous and Reusable Superacid Polymer Catalyst for the Synthesis of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural from Glucose
Project ID: D2018-18 Background Combinations of Brønsted and Lewis acid catalysts are generally used for the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from glucose. However, reutilization of these catalysts is challenging due to their solubility in reaction medium. Heterogeneous catalysts containing both types of acid sites are not usually...
