Tailored nanostructuring of end-group-functionalized high-density polyethylene synthesized by an efficient catalytic version of Ziegler's "Aufbaureaktion".

Monoguanidinato titanium complexes are efficient catalysts to make OH end-group-functionalized polyethylene (PE-OH) by a catalyzed version of Ziegler's "Aufbaureaktion". This PE-OH can be structured to mesoporous polyethylene or polyethylene nanofibers/ribbons through diblock copolymer synthesis, microphase separation, and etching of the sacrificial polylactide block.
