Heterogeneous catalysis coordination polymerization

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005243",
  "term": "Heterogeneous catalysis coordination polymerization",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A coordination polymerization in which the active catalyst is a solid that does not dissolve in the reaction medium, either an insoluble crystalline compound or a species fixed on a support such as magnesium chloride. The polymer grows on the surface of each catalyst particle, so the product particles copy the shape of the catalyst particles. Ziegler-Natta catalysts for polyethylene and isotactic polypropylene are the main industrial examples.",
