Methylaluminoxane

Methylaluminoxane (MAO) is a chemical compound that is often used as a cocatalyst in the production of certain types of polymerization reactions, particularly in the field of olefin polymerization. It is an aluminum-based compound and is primarily known for its role in activating specific metal catalysts, such as those based on transition metals, to produce high-performance polymers like polyethylene and polypropylene.
