REPORT


tta, metallocene, and “post-metallocene” catalysts, microstructural analysis of polymers, molecular kinetics, discovery of stereoselective polymerization catalysts, high throughput experimentations, and advanced computational modeling of homogeneous and heterogeneous organometallic catalysts. He has published more than 150 scientific papers in peer-reviewed international journals and has eight international industrial patents. Petar Doshev Borealis Polyolefine GmbH, St. Peter-Str. 25, 4021 Linz, Austria; email [email protected]. Doshev has been with the Borealis Polyolefine GmbH research and development organization since 2005, focusing on product development and project management of research projects. He holds a PhD degree in the area of heterophasic polypropylene copolymers from Martin Luther University Halle–Wittenberg, Germany. Currently, he leads the Borealis core polypropylene research department, with responsibilities in polymer design and application development in the polypropylene product area. Doshev also is the inventor on more than 20 patents. Markus Gahleitner Borealis Polyolefine GmbH, St. Peter-Str. 25, 4021 Linz, Austria; tel. 43-732-6981-5914; and email [email protected]. Gahleitner joined the research and development organization of Borealis Polyolefine GmbH in Linz, Austria, in 1992, where he is active in various areas from product development to intellectual property rights. He studied chemical engineering at Johannes Kepler University, Linz, and completed his PhD degree thesis in the area of polymer melt rheology in 1990. He is the author of more than 50 publications in international, peer-reviewed journals, many publications in trade journals, and several book contributions, as well as more than 30 patents. Max P. McDaniel Chevron-Phillips Chemical Company, Phillips Research Center, Bartlesville, Okla., USA; tel. 918-661-9974; and email [email protected]. McDaniel has led a group of scientists in the study and derivation of polymerization catalysts at the Phillips Research Center in Bartlesville, Okla., for nearly four decades. He received his PhD degree in physical chemistry in 1974 from Northwestern University, where he studied the porosity and redox capacity of chromia catalysts under Professor Robert L. Burwell. In 1974, McDaniel spent one year at the Institute of Catalysis in Lyon, France, as a Chercheur Associé, under Professor S.J. Teichner. McDaniel joined Phillips Petroleum Company in 1975 to work on Cr/silica catalysts under J. Paul Hogan. McDaniel is the recipient of several ACS and other awards, he has authored more than 100 scientific publications and lectures and more than 350 US patents. His contributions include advancements in Phillips Cr/silica catalysts, metallocene activation, ethylene trimerization, and high-performance blow molding, pipe, sheet, and film resins.
