Macromolecular Reactions: Peculiarities, Theory and Experimental Approaches / Edition 1

by Nicolai A. Plate, Arkady D. Litmanovich, Olga V. Noah

Overview

Over the last three decades many fundamental problems relating to the chemical reactions of polymers have arisen. In this book three distinguished authors present for the first time a comprehensive, theoretical and experimental analysis of macromolecular reactions, summarising advances in the field. Designed as a guide for academics and for polymer chemists and physicists in industry, this will also be an invaluable textbook for post-graduates and students as it details the peculiarities of macromolecular reactions, the quantitative investigation of reaction kinetics, product structure and processes of chemical modification. The authors are all widely regarded as worldwide experts in this field.

Editorial Reviews

A comprehensive theoretical and experimental analysis of macromolecular reactions, addressing the many fundamental problems relating to the chemical reactions of polymers that have arisen in the past three decades. Describes the basic regularities that distinguish the chemical behavior of long- chain molecules and of units and functional groups incorporated in the chains in various transformations. Not so much concerned with what reactions can and cannot proceed with macromolecules, but with why they behave as they do in reactions and with constructing an explanatory physical chemistry analogous to that for small organic molecules. For polymer chemists and physicists in industry or academia. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
