TEXTBOOK OF POLYMER SCIENCE
This second edition of Textbook of Polymer Science is a comprehensive and foundational work covering the science of macromolecules. It introduces the fundamental principles of polymer chemistry and physics, including:
Step‑reaction (condensation) and chain‑reaction polymerization
Free‑radical, ionic, and coordination polymerization mechanisms
Copolymerization and polymer reaction conditions
Molecular weight, molecular‑weight distribution, and characterization methods
Polymer solutions, crystallinity, morphology, and mechanical behavior
Structure–property relationships in commercial polymers such as plastics, fibers, and elastomers
The book was widely adopted as a core university textbook for chemistry and chemical engineering students and is regarded as a classic reference in polymer science literature. It includes bibliographical references and author/subject indexes.
