We present a study of some mechanical aspects of the polymerization processes named after the names of the Nobel laureates (1963) Karl W. Ziegler and Giulio Natta. Using the ideas of [1] as a starting point, we formulate a mathematical model encompassing the mechanical behavior of the polymer while it grows around the nanometric catalytic particles. As a basis we use the theory of [5]. The full model is exposed in [3]. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
