Synthesis of organic compounds that has chirality is an important technique in the fields of pharmaceuticals, agrichemicals, health foods and the like. However, raw materials of a catalyst used for the synthesis of such compounds are expensive, and the synthesis needs many steps, so that it is difficult to reduce the cost. Linking a catalyst center to a polymer chain or a resin through an organic group enables to use the catalyst repeatedly and produce a chiral compound at low cost.

A method of preparing a branched polymer comprises the free radical polymerisation of a multivinyl monomer in the presence of a chain transfer agent, using a source of radicals, wherein the extent of propagation is controlled relative to the extent of chain transfer to prevent gelation of the polymer. The average length of each vinyl polymer chain within the product is short.

The present invention relates to a supported hybrid catalyst and a method for preparing olefin polymer using the same. Using the supported hybrid catalyst, olefin polymer that maintains excellent mechanical strength of olefin polymer polymerized with the existing metallocene catalyst, but exhibits remarkably improved processibility compared to the existing olefin polymer, can be provided.

A prepolymerized resin and a method of preparing the prepolymerized resin are provided, the method comprising a step of prepolymerizing t-butyl styrene and unsaturated bond-containing polyphenylene oxide. The unsaturated bond-containing polyphenylene oxide comprises: methacrylate-terminated polyphenylene oxide, vinylbenzyl-terminated polyphenylene oxide, vinylbenzyl-modified bisphenol A polyphenylene oxide resin, vinyl-containing chain-extended polyphenylene oxide resin or a combination thereof. A resin composition comprising the prepolymerized resin and an article made from the resin composition are also provided.

Described are compositions and methods for inhibiting polymerization of a monomer (e.g., styrene) composition, which use an NO polymerization inhibitor, a quinone methide polymerization retarder, and an amine stabilizer having a primary and/or secondary amine group. In a mixture, the amine-based stabilizer can prevent antagonistic effects and can provide greater antipolymerant activity. In turn, the mixture inhibits apparatus fouling and improves the purity of monomer streams.
