Reviews

This book consists of reviews and contributed papers from a symposium . . . on the topic of 'Advances in Free Radical Polymerization.' Most of the book is devoted to controlled or 'living' radical polymerization. This is an important new topic which has recently reinvigorated radical polymerization. . . . The first section deals with the fundamentals of radical polymerizations . . . The second section deals with conventional radical polymerizations. . . . This is followed by two sections dealing with two of the most used methods for controlled polymerization . . . This is followed by two chapters on other methods, addition-fragmentation and the use of Barton esters. The last section covers some of the new materials which have been produced by these processes . . . This book should be purchased by anyone with an interest in newer methods of polymer synthesis. I believe that it will be on the bookshelf and in the laboratory of many scientists. --Polymer News<br> Presents 27 papers from the April 1997 National Meeting sponsored by the Division of Polymer Chemistry. After introductory chapters on radical reactions and controlled radical polymerizations, the following topics are explored: recent advances in the kinetics of conventional radical (co)polymerization in homogeneous and heterogeneous media; direct measurements of concentrations of growing species; nitroxide- and metal-mediated polymerization; other methods which include addition-fragmentation reactions and the application of Barton esters; and the application of controlled radical polymerization to the synthesis of new well-defined materials such as polymer chains, nonionic surfactants, and branched macromolecularstructures. A variety of fields are applied to the topic, including: theoretical, computational, physical organic, organometallic, and coordination chemistry; organic and bioorganic synthesis; and kinetics. --SciTech Book News<br>
