Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Polymer

Robert M. Waymouth mostly deals with Polymer chemistry, Polymerization, Organic chemistry, Ring-opening polymerization and Catalysis. His research integrates issues of Copolymer, Solution polymerization, Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization, Metallocene and Living polymerization in his study of Polymer chemistry. His work on Post-metallocene catalyst as part of his general Metallocene study is frequently connected to Polyolefin, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His Polymerization study combines topics in areas such as Carbene and Monomer. His research investigates the link between Ring-opening polymerization and topics such as Alcohol that cross with problems in Phosphazene. His Catalysis research incorporates elements of Group and Alkyl.

His most cited work include:

  • Stereospecific Olefin Polymerization with Chiral Metallocene Catalysts (1929 citations)
  • Organocatalytic ring-opening polymerization. (972 citations)
  • Group 4 ansa-Cyclopentadienyl-Amido Catalysts for Olefin Polymerization. (727 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Polymer chemistry, Catalysis, Polymerization, Organic chemistry and Polymer. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Copolymer, Ring-opening polymerization, Tacticity, Ethylene and Metallocene. The Metallocene study combines topics in areas such as Olefin fiber and Stereoselectivity.

His Catalysis research incorporates themes from Reagent, Medicinal chemistry and Zirconium. His study in Polymerization is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Carbene and Monomer. In his research, Thermoplastic is intimately related to Elastomer, which falls under the overarching field of Polymer.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Polymer chemistry (50.53%)
  • Catalysis (36.17%)
  • Polymerization (34.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Catalysis (36.17%)
  • Polymerization (34.31%)
  • Polymer chemistry (50.53%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Catalysis, Polymerization, Polymer chemistry, Organic chemistry and Polymer. His research in Catalysis intersects with topics in Electrocatalyst and Medicinal chemistry. Robert M. Waymouth is involved in the study of Polymerization that focuses on Ring-opening polymerization in particular.

Robert M. Waymouth has included themes like Dithiolane, Trimethylene carbonate, Carbonate and Monomer in his Polymer chemistry study. His research investigates the connection between Organic chemistry and topics such as Polyhydroxyalkanoates that intersect with problems in Methanol. His study looks at the relationship between Polymer and topics such as Polymer science, which overlap with Metathesis, Macromolecule, Radical polymerization and Raft.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Catalysis as an Enabling Science for Sustainable Polymers (232 citations)
  • Fast and selective ring-opening polymerizations by alkoxides and thioureas (107 citations)
  • Urea Anions: Simple, Fast, and Selective Catalysts for Ring-Opening Polymerizations. (102 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Polymer

His main research concerns Polymerization, Polymer chemistry, Catalysis, Ring-opening polymerization and Polymer. His work in Polymerization is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Monomer. His study of Self-healing hydrogels is a part of Polymer chemistry.

Organic chemistry covers Robert M. Waymouth research in Catalysis. His Ring-opening polymerization research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lactone, Ring, Molecule, Cationic polymerization and Nucleophile. His work carried out in the field of Polymer brings together such families of science as Polyester, Macromolecule and Polymer science.
