title: Measuring rate constants for active species in the polymerization of ethylene by MAO-activated metallocene catalysts by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
abstract: Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) of MAO-activated metallocene-catalyzed polymerizations quenched with carbodiimides provides a method for the determination of rate constants in Ziegler-Natta polymerizations.
