Abstract
A catalyst composition useful for catalyzing the polymerization of olefinic monomers is disclosed, along with a polymerization method using those catalyst compositions to prepare a variety of polyolefins from olefinic monomers. A method for preparation of the catalyst composition by combining an epoxy functional porous organic polymer, a catalytic component, and an activator component is also disclosed.
