  • 'the best introduction to polymer chemistry available at the undergraduate level./Aslib Book Guide, vol.64, no.8, August 1999.' -

Description
Polymer Chemistry provides graduate and advanced undergraduate students with an up-to-date introduction to the chemistry of macromolecular substances, including their synthesis and the properties underlying their commercial importance. Significant new developments in polymer science over the past decade are covered, as are methods used for testing and characterizing polymers.
