Abstract:
A process for parallel polymerization using members of a library of potential metal-ligand polymerization catalysts, the process comprisingproviding a library of potential metal-ligand polymerization catalysts wherein the concentrations or compositions of the potential catalysts in the library differ, and inserting the potential catalysts into a parallel reactor and subjecting said library to polymerization conditions, wherein said polymerization conditions include contacting said plurality of potential catalysts with at least one monomer that is an olefin, diolefin or acetylenically unsaturated monomer, said parallel reactor comprising a plurality sealed reaction vessels and each of said plurality of potential catalysts being placed in a corresponding one of said plurality of vessels.
