Kaminsky catalyst
Ethylene polymerization catalyst
A Kaminsky catalyst is a catalytic system for alkene polymerization.[1] Kaminsky catalysts are based on metallocenes of group 4 transition metals (Ti, Zr, Hf) activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO). These and other innovations have inspired development of new classes of catalysts that in turn led to commercialization of novel engineering polyolefins.[2]
