Abstract

Synthesis of functional poly(olefin)s using metallocene and late transition metal catalysts resulting in poly(olefin)s having well defined functional groups either randomly distributed along the polymer chain or on chain ends is an emerging area of active interest. Such functional groups introduce some hydrophilicity in an otherwise hydrophobic poly(olefin)s as well as enable the synthesis of novel graft and block copolymers having a wide range of applications. In this review, the published literature on various approaches to the synthesis of functional poly(olefin)s, especially, terminal functional poly(olefin)s as well as block and graft copolymers will be briefly discussed.
