Macromolecules: Volume 1: Chemical Structures and Syntheses
ISBN: 978-3-527-31172-9
October 2005
698 pages
Volume I is concerned with the fundamentals of chemical structure and principles of synthesis of macromolecules: constitution, configuration, conformation, polymerization equilibria, polymerization mechanisms (ionic, coordination, free-radical, step reactions, including solid-state and biochemical polymerizations), polymer reactions, and strategies for defined polymer architectures.
Volume II discusses individual polymers and their industrial syntheses, Volume II the fundamentals of physical structures and properties, and volume IV the processing and application of polymers as plastics, fibers, elastomers, thickeners, etc.
The world of macromolecules in a nutshell.
