Controlled and Living Polymeri: From Mechanisms to Applications - Tapa dura

"In summary, this book is an excellent resource for chemical professionals interested in controlled/living polymerization, and the clear, concise presentation of the mechanisms for such polymerizations accompanied by the comprehensive literature references renders this book useful to both novices and experts." (JACS, 2010) All in all, Muller and Matyjaszewski have done a marvelous job. Their book deserves the label ''must-have" for graduate students and academic or industrial scientists, who are either working or interested in the area of modern polymer synthesis (Macromolecular Chemistry & Physics, March 2010)

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. From the contents: Anionic Vinyl Polymerization Carbocationic Polymerization Radical Polymerization Coordinative Polymerization of Olefins Ring-Opening Polymerization of Heterocycles Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization Macromolecular Architectures Complex Functional Macromolecules Synthesis of Block and Graft Copolymers Bulk and Solution Structures of Block Copolymers Industrial Applications 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. Must-have knowledge for polymer and organic chemists, plastics technologists, materials scientists and chemical engineers.
