The new edition of a classic text and reference

The large chains of molecules known as polymers are currently used
in everything from "wash and wear" clothing to rubber tires to
protective enamels and paints. Yet the practical applications of
polymers are only increasing; innovations in polymer chemistry
constantly bring both improved and entirely new uses for polymers
onto the technological playing field. Principles of Polymerization,
Fourth Edition presents the classic text on polymer synthesis,
fully updated to reflect today's state of the art. New and expanded
coverage in the Fourth Edition includes:

* Metallocene and post-metallocene polymerization catalysts

* Living polymerizations (radical, cationic, anionic)

* Dendrimer, hyperbranched, brush, and other polymer architectures
and assemblies

* Graft and block copolymers

* High-temperature polymers

* Inorganic and organometallic polymers

* Conducting polymers

* Ring-opening polymer ization

* In vivo and in vitro polymerization

Appropriate for both novice and advanced students as well as
professionals, this comprehensive yet accessible resource enables
the reader to achieve an advanced, up-to-date understanding of
polymer synthesis. Different methods of polymerization, reaction
parameters for synthesis, molecular weight, branching and
crosslinking, and the chemical and physical structure of polymers
all receive ample coverage. A thorough discussion at the elementary
level prefaces each topic, with a more advanced treatment
following. Yet the language throughout remains straightforward and
geared towards the student.

Extensively updated, Principles of Polymerization, Fourth Edition
provides an excellent textbook for today's students of polymer
chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science, as well as
a current reference for the researcher or other practitioner
working in these areas.
