Request a sales quoteThis revised and updated Second Edition of Polymer Synthesis II continues in the tradition of Volume I in presenting detailed laboratory instructions for the preparation of various polymers. Each chapter is organized by functional groups, and each chapter not only presents preparative methods, but also includes a brief introductory summary, reviews of the very latest journal articles and patents, and safety hazards and precautions. Procedures have been chosen on the basis of safety considerations and ease of being carried out with standard laboratory equipment. This comprehensive treatment of each polymer group makes Polymer Synthesis II an indispensable guide for industrial and academic chemists as well as for students in the field.
- Covers each polymer class, heavily referencing these with patent literature to illustrate commercial applications
- Provides new and updated information for each functional group
- Contains many new preparations, including
Polymer chemists in both industry and academia, and chemical engineers, materials scientists, and graduate students in these disciplines
