Handbook of Vinyl Polymers: Radical Polymerization

Maintaining the quality of the critically acclaimed first edition, this fully updated reference focuses on the physical and organic chemistry of radical vinyl polymerization. Emphasizing radical initiating systems and mechanisms for synthesizing vinyl polymers, renowned researchers in the field survey the latest processing methods, technologies, and applications. Topics covered include polymer functionalization, photo initiation, block and graft copolymers, polymer composites, and living/controlled radical polymerization-one of the most recent advances in the field. The final chapter includes up-to-date properties, structural information, and data on monomers and polymerization.
