Because of tough market conditions, the research and development of new petrochemical products is down along with spending. The paper discusses the new marketing strategy used by petrochemical developers while relenting all blue sky research to academia. The paper discusses developments and research in the four main targeted research areas. These include basic petrochemicals such as ethylene an propylene; petrochemical intermediates such as 1,4 butanediol and vinyl chloride monomer; commodity polymers, notably linear low density polyethylene; and, specialty polymers such as engineering plastics. The advances in production technologies in these areas are then discussed.
