Overview

Most practitioners of polymer chemistry are familiar with the established methods of polymer synthesis: radical; anionic, cationic and coordination addition polymerization; and stepwise condensation and rearrangement polymerization. Fewer chemists, however, have much familiarity with more recent developments in polymer synthesis of speciality polymers. Until now, those wishing an overview of recent developments have had to consult a large number and wide variety of sources, including primary journals, conference reports and specialist review articles. This is the second volume in a series which provides up-to-date reviews of areas of current interest in polymer synthesis. It is directed at academic and industrial researchers in polymer science and organic chemists drawn into the synthesis of novel polymers.
