XVI, 920 Pages, Hardcover
Handbook/Reference Book
Short Description
This book provides a single-source reference of the classical and state-of-the-art synthetic techniques for preparing polymers through free-radical polymerization. Coverage includes a historical background of free radical polymerization, basic information regarding the major classes of free-radical polymers, and experimental techniques, including synthesis, purification, and characterization of free-radical polymers.
* Provides a concise source of information on synthetic techniques, purification, and characterization methods for free-radical polymers.
* Presents information on future trends in the synthesis of free-radical polymers.
