Overview

""Ionic Polymerization"" is an advanced text that provides insights into the basic concepts of polymerization chemistry and polymerization reaction mechanisms. It is co-authored by Michael Szwarc, winner of the 1991 Kyoto Award from the Japanese Government. This book reviews the history of polymerization chemistry, describes important aspects of the structure and properties of the ionic species, and goes on to consider key aspects of both radical and ionic polymerizations. It should be useful to both professionals and graduate students in polymer chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and materials science. This book should be of interest to professional and graduate students of polymer chemistry; organic chemistry; physical chemistry and material science.
