Polymer Science and Technology

Summary: The Polymer Science primer.
Review: This book is at home either in the hands of a graduate or a bachelors' student. Since I belong to the former, reading the book was like taking foundation lessons of sorts in the very often complicated topic of Polymer Chemistry, and getting lifted from the stage of monomers joining to form polymers, to the high tech process of the application of polymers in textile, food and rubber industries, etc. It also talks extensively about natural and artificial polymers, basic and modern methods of polymerization, depolymerization, properties of polymers, economic importance of polymers, etc. You will hardly find a book, which enumerates the products of addition and condensation polymerization like Polymer Science, and Technology does. The lucidity of this text brings to the fore the author's primary skill of teaching. Polymer Science and Technology is a must-have for the student or industry practitioner wanting to make references and learn without having to be an "A" student in Organic Chemistry.
