Welcome to LSP

The Laboratory of Stereoselective Polymerizations (LSP) is a research structure of the Department of Chemical SciencesFederico II University of Naples (Italy). LSP is directed by Prof. Vincenzo Busico, and specializes in the fundamental and applied study of polyolefin chemistry and catalysis. LSP is also a Research Partner of the Dutch Polymer Institute (DPI, one of the Top Technology Institutes in The Netherlands, for which Prof. Busico has served as the Scientific Chairman of the Polyolefin Technology Area between 2004 and 2020), and a Research Unit of the Italian National Interuniversity Consortium of Materials Science and Technology (INSTM, the largest of its kind in Italy, federating all Knowledge Institutes with research programs in Materials Science and Technology).

Introduction

LSP is a global competence center for fundamental and applied studies on olefin polymerization chemistry and catalysis.
