Several homogeneous and heterogeneous binary systems have been applied to olefin polymerization in order to produce polymers with improved physical and/or chemical characteristics. This article reviews the recent developments in this area focusing mainly on polymer properties, the relationship between the types of catalyst present in the binary systems, their use in the homopolymerization of ethylene and propene, and the copolymerization of ethylene and higher α ‐olefins.
