Controlled and Living Polymerizations

Written by a highly prestigious and knowledgeable team of top scientists in the field, this book provides an overview of the current status of controlled/living polymerization, combining the synthetic, mechanistic and application-oriented aspects.<br> From the contents:<br> * Anionic Vinyl Polymerization<br> * Carbocationic Polymerization<br> * Radical Polymerization<br> * Coordinative Polymerization of Olefins<br> * Ring-Opening Polymerization of Heterocycles<br> * Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization <br> * Macromolecular Architectures<br> * Complex Functional Macromolecules<br> * Synthesis of Block and Graft Copolymers<br> * Bulk and Solution Structures of Block Copolymers<br> * Industrial Applications <br> While some of the material is based on chapters taken from the four-volume work “Macromolecular Engineering”, it is completely updated and rewritten to reflect the focus of this monograph.<br> Must-have knowledge for polymer and organic chemists, plastics technologists, materials scientists and chemical engineers.<br>
