Research Summary

Linear α-olefin (LAO) is a type of olefin hydrocarbon that contains a double bond between the first and second carbon atom from the end of the hydrocarbon chain. LAOs are produced through the oligomerization of ethylene and are commonly used as co-monomers in the production of polyethylene and other polyolefins. LAOs are also used in the production of synthetic lubricants, detergents, drilling fluids, and other specialty chemicals. The length of the LAO chain determines its properties and applications, with longer-chain LAOs typically exhibiting higher melting points, greater compatibility with other hydrocarbons, and improved lubrication properties.
