This updated new edition of the well established and highly readable introductory text book on polymer science is ideal for those requiring a broad overview of the subject. Following on from the success of the earlier editions, The Chemistry of Polymers, fourth edition, continues to explore the subject from an applications point of view, providing a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of polymer science including synthesis, structure, properties, degradation and dendrimers. Recent advances in special topics in polymer chemistry and polymers and the environment are also discussed in an informative and up-to-date manner.
Highlights include new sections on RAFT polymerization, polymers in drug delivery and polymer LEDs and updated sections on green polymerization, polymers for solar cells and polymers from renewable sources showcasing the recent developments and applications in this exciting area.
The Chemistry of Polymers, fourth edition, is essential reading for university students, teachers and scientists who wish to acquire an up-to-the-minute overview of polymer science and its many specialised topics in an informative and easy to read style.

Choice Review
This new edition includes two major revisions of the 1997 second edition: a new chapter devoted to dendrimers; and updated material in chapters 10 (dedicated to special topics such as ionomers, medical polymers, conducting polymers, etc.) and 11 (polymers in the environment, addressing topics such as polymer recycling, degradable polymers, etc.). Nicholson (Univ. of Greenwich, UK) states that the book is not intended as a course resource--it does not include end-of-chapter problems, nor is it extensively referenced. Nevertheless, it can be and has been employed in that manner. Like Fred W. Billmeyer's or J. M. G. Cowie's polymer science books, it includes synthesis and solution-state and solid-state properties. The concepts are communicated both effectively and concisely. Chemical structures are used, but reaction mechanisms and intermediates are not shown. Similarly, elementary kinetics and thermodynamics are used but derivations are not included. The material that is included is carefully selected to cover key topics and principles in clear, simple language. The book is exceptionally well written and easily understood by undergraduates and well suited as a resource for first polymer science courses; it can be easily supplemented to increase the depth of the material presented. ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals; two-year technical program students. P. G. Heiden Michigan Technological University
