Focused on the future of polymers in the new millennium, Introduction to Polymer Science and Chemistry unites the fundamentals of polymer science and polymer chemistry in a seamless presentation. The author uses a unique question-and-answer approach when developing theory or introducing new concepts. With an emphasis on polymerization kinetics, he examines polymers in solid state and in solution, including properties, solution behavior, and molecular weights. The remainder of the book devotes self-contained chapters to the main types of polymerization reactions--condensation, free radical, ionic, coordination, and ring-opening—and recent advances in polymerization.
