摘要：

For many years of manufacturing or inventing novel plastics, industrial chemists have been at the mercy of the available chemical tools. Today, however, a new category of catalysts, called metallocenes, has come to their rescue. The molecular machines allow more effective control over the growth of polymer chains. The metallocene catalyst have also revolutionalized the industrial synthesis of valuable plastics.
