Abstract
Methods and compositions for the generation of quasi-living catalysts for homo-polymerization of olefins such as ethylene, α-olefins and functionalized olefins and for the co-polymerization of olefins with functionalized monomers is disclosed. A process for producing these homo- and co-polymers is also disclosed. A polymeric material with enhanced hydrophilic properties, generated by the co-polymerization of ethylene with 5-norbornen-2-yl acetate, is also disclosed.
