Polymer Syntheses, Volume III provides useful polymer synthesis information. The book discusses the olefin-sulfur dioxide copolymers; the polythioesters; and sulphide polymers. The text also describes polymerizations reactions of mono and diisocyanates; polyoxyalkylation of hydroxyl compounds; and polymerization reactions of N-vinyl carbazole and related monomers. The polymerization of vinyl acetate and other vinyl esters; the polymerization of allyl esters; and the polymerization of vinyl fluoride are also considered. The book further tackles miscellaneous polymer preparations.
