Overview

Within this text, the synthetic chemistry, properties and applications of the full range of silicon-containing polymers are drawn together comprehensively in a single work. Siloxane, carbosilane, silazane, silane, silylalkylene, and silylarylene polymers are all included, as are special topics that include, amongst others, unusual structures, applications, and high performance characteristics. This text should serve as a reference text in its own right and also aims to point readers seeking even greater depth to the primary literature they need.

Reviews

`This book is a first class example of its type. It presents a massive amount of information in a very well organized way and will certainly stimulate yet more studies in its already intensively worked field. At today's prices it represents good value, and can be warmly recommended.' Applied Organometallic Chemistry, 15(2001)
