Product Description
Here is the definitive introduction to polymer chemistry. This lively book takes the reader through the historical beginnings of polymers, the development of high-tonnage materials in the early part of the twentieth century, and on to the most modern high-performance materials available today. The authors are both experience educators and practitioners within the polymer industry and are uniquely qualified to discuss basic academic principles of polymers as well as their commercial application. Unlike other texts in this area, it successfully describes the exciting principles and varied applications that contribute to the use of plastics in every aspect of modern life. |

Good book to learn about polymers by Hector Camacho Montes (Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico)  4 Stars
October 02, 2009
Polymers is not the center of your work but you need to know about them. Then, this is the right book to have in this multidisciplinary era. As in all the sciences, there are difficult concepts that takes time to understand and this book may be short in that sense, but you can really learn.

Good introductory text by thickos (Australia)  3 Stars
October 28, 2007
Conveys the basics of polymer chemistry easily and concisely. Quite a strong focus on the applications and materials side of polymer chemistry, so would be an ideal primer to keep on the shelf for someone working in materials science.

| Stereoselectivity in Organic Synthesis (Oxford Chemistry Primers, 63)
by Garry Procter (Author)
This clear and concise text is concerned with the reactions used in stereoselective organic synthesis. It sets out to consider the general principles upon which such reactions are founded, especially stereoelectronic effects, and how these are applied to a wide range of stereospecific and stereoselective organic reactions used in organic synthesis today. The general topics covered include: reactions of carbonyl compounds, aldol reactions, additions to C-C double bonds, oxidation and reduction,...

| Heterocyclic Chemistry (Basic Concepts In Chemistry)
by Malcolm Sainsbury (Author)
Heterocyclic Chemistry deals with the fundamental chemistry of fully saturated and unsaturated 4-, 5- and 6-membered heterocycles. The principle focus is those compounds containing a single nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atom and by restricting discussion to these, a balanced treatment is possible. The book introduces a selection of important heterocyclic compounds and the vital role that they play in life, medicine and industry. Conformational aspects of heterocyclic chemistry, aromatic...

| Introduction to Polymers (2nd Printing of 2nd Ed.)
by R. J. Young (Author), P. A. Lovell (Author)
Introduction to Polymers, Second Edition discusses the synthesis, characterization, structure, and mechanical properties of polymers in a single text, giving approximately equal emphasis to each of these major topics. It has thus been possible to show the interrelationship of the different aspects of the subject in a coherent framework. The book has been written to be self-contained, with most equations fully derived and critically discussed. It is supported by a large number of diagrams and...

| Foundations of Organic Chemistry (Oxford Chemistry Primers)
by Michael Hornby (Author), Josephine Peach (Author)
Advanced high-school and beginning undergraduate students will find this book a readable and stimulating summary of the fundamentals of organic chemistry. The first three chapters introduce basic physical chemistry and lay the groundwork for the mechanistic organic chemistry covered later in the book. The importance of bonding and mechanisms are stressed throughout, and students are encouraged to apply their chemical knowledge in new and unfamiliar situations in order to develop and sustain...
