| description | Abstract
Introducing polar functionalities to polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene is highly desirable for improving physical properties of the otherwise non-polar material. The synthesis of stereoregular functionalized polyolefins, however, has been a relatively underdeveloped area compared to that of functionalized polyethylene because of the lack of suitable catalysts that tolerate polar groups while possessing stereoselectivity. This review summarizes recent advances concerning the access to stereoregular functionalized polyolefins, including synthetic strategies such as post-functionalization, chain transfer and direct copolymerization methods. The focus of the review lies in the copolymerization approach, in which various polar comonomers and versatile stereoselective polymerization catalysts based on both early and late transition metals are involved. Polymer properties and potential applications for these materials are simply discussed.
