title: Polymeric supports for the immobilisation of catalysts.
abstract: This chapter summarises the most frequently used polymeric supports for catalysis and highlights some recent developments in the field. Two classes of polymers, crosslinked solid phase supports and non-crosslinked soluble polymeric supports, are discussed with the focus on covalently attached catalysts. In addition, for soluble polymeric supports the different separation techniques are critically compared and evaluated for their application in catalysis.
