Flego [1] recommends the use of micro devices for automated measurement and microanalysis of high-throughput in situ characterization of catalyst properties. Murphy et al. [5] stress the importance of the development of new reactor designs. Micro reactors at Dow were described for rapid serial screening of polyolefin catalysts. De Bellefon ete al. used a similar approach in combination with a micro mixer [6], Bergh et al. [7] presented a micro fluidic 256-fold flow reactor manufactured from a silicon wafer for the ethane partial oxidation and propane ammoxidation.

The developers of new processes have found it at times more expedient to set up their own separate entities to supply the catalysts they were advocating. Allied-Signal s subsidiary UOP did so for its platforming Houdry for its catalytic cracking Ralph Landau for the silver catalyst used for direct ethylene oxidation, which was marketed by Halcon SD and subsequently taken over by Denka, then by Bayer and Phillips Chemical for its polyolefin catalysts, sold through its subsidiary, Catalyst Resources.

The origins of Ziegler-Natta polyolefin catalysts have been authoritatively described by McMillan (2), Seymour (3, 4), Boor (5) and Vandenberg and Repka (6).

Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is also known as size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and both names are used today in the literature. The GPC technique has been extensively used in the last 50 years and has contributed to the development of polyolefin catalysts, processes, and the improvement of resin performance. There exist good references that deal with the fundamentals of the technique [12, 13], calibration procedures [14-16], and the analysis of LCB [17-23], which still demands significant attention.
