Emphasis is on a broad description of the general methods and
processes for the synthesis, modification and characterization of
macromolecules. These more fundamental chapters will be
supplemented by selected and detailed experiments. In addition to
the preparative aspects the book also gives the reader an
impression on the relation of chemical constitution and morphology
of Polymers to their properties, as well as on their application
areas. Thus, an additional textbook will not be needed in order to
understand the experiments.
The 5th edition contains numerous changes: In recent years,
so-called functional polymers which have special electrical,
electronic, optical and biological properties, have gained more and
more in interest. This textbook was therefore supplemented by
recipes which describe the synthesis of these materials in a new
chapter "Functional polymers." Together with new experiments in
chapter 3,4 and 5 the book now contains more than 120 recipes that
describe a wide range of macromolecules.
From the reviews of recent editions:
"This is an excellent book for all polymer chemists engaged in
synthesis research studies and education. It is educationally sound
and has excellent laboratory synthetic examples. The fundamentals
are well done for the teaching of students and references are
resonably up-to-date. As in previous issues, there are sections
dealing with an introduction; structure and nomenclature; methods
and techniques for synthesis, characterization, processing and
modification of polymers.
....The authors have noted the following changes from previous
editions- a new section on correlations of structure, morphology
and properties; revision and enlargement of other property and
characterization procedures; additional new experiments such as
controlled radical polymerization; enzymatic polymerizations;
microelmulsions; and electrical conducting polymers.
This is a high quality textbook at a reasonable price and should
be considered as a suitable reference for all engaged in synthetic
areas of polymer research." (Eli M. Pearce, Polytechnic University,
Brooklyn, NY, USA)
