In this review the activation and deactivation of the metallocene catalysts are discussed, and the stability of metallocenes. In industrial processes metallocenes are generally used on supports such as silica, alumina or magnesium chloride. Each procedure for generating a supported metallocene affects the catalyst and thus the polymerisation process, affording new variations. The methods and effects of supporting metallocenes are discussed. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further

Author / Editor Details: Professor Kaminsky is a world-renowned expert in the field of metallocenes and has been responsible for much of the pioneering work in this area.
