New Methods of Polymer Synthesis

by J.R. Ebdon (Editor)

Describes new polymerization mechanisms, polymerizations under unusual conditions, and non-polymerization routes to specialty polymers developed during the last decade. Addressed to organic chemists working in industrial or academic contexts, discusses the fundamental chemistry and unique features of each method, and the special uses and qualities of the polymers thus produced. Includes a general survey of developments in the field, and chapters on groups transfer and ring-opening polymerization, transformation reactions, chemical modifications of preformed polymers, and the terminally reactive oligomers, telechelic oligomers and macromers.
