Heterogeneous Initiators for Sustainable Polymerization Processes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Heterogenized Homogeneous Catalysts for Fine Chemicals Production

Part of the book series: Catalysis by Metal Complexes ((CMCO,volume 33))

Abstract

One of the main challenges facing the twenty-first century is the need to produce chemicals from renewable resources. The dwindling supplies of fossil fuels coupled with instability in supply mean that technologies that were once deemed too expensive are now becoming more economically viable options. The majority of man-made polymers are derived from crude oil based monomers. However, in recent years a tremendous effort has been channeled into the preparation of polymers from sustainable chemicals. Two classic examples are polylactide (derived from corn starch) and polycarbonates (prepared directly from CO2). This chapter serves as an introduction into these two polymers and reviews the literature associated with heterogeneous catalyst for the polymerizations, concentrating on approaches describing the heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts.
