'The most impressive feature of this second volume of Mandelkern's is … the huge amount of experimental material which is systematically analyzed. … the reader will find a great part of the systems which have been studied so far and valuable references to original work.' ChemPhysChem, 'The book presents a balanced and objective account of the subject, although the author's personal views are presented in great detail but always within the context of the general scientific literature. … The book represents a welcome addition to the polymer scientific literature and many interested readers will be looking forward to seeing volume three.' Chemistry and Industry, 'This book is an excellent comprehensive survey on the kinetics and mechanisms of polymer crystallizaztion, based on equilibrium concepts ... the book constitutes a valuable collection reflecting many years of working experience in the field. It can be recommended as an extremely useful tool for chemists, physicists and researchers in the area of the crystallization of polymers.' Polymer International, '… an excellent comprehensive survey on the kinetics and mechanisms of polymer crystallization, based on equilibrium concepts … a valuable collection of many years of working experience in the field.

In Crystallization of Polymers, 2nd Edition, Leo Mandelkern provides a self-contained, comprehensive, and up-to-date treatment of polymer crystallization. Volume 2 of this edition provides an authoritative account of the kinetics and mechanisms of polymer crystallization, building from the equilibrium concepts presented in volume 1. As crystalline polymers rarely, if ever, achieve their equilibrium state, this books serves as a bridge between equilibrium concepts and the state that is finally achieved. With a comprehensive treatment of the surrounding theories and experimental results from simple to complex polymer systems, this book will be an invaluable reference work for all chemists, physicists and materials scientists working in the area of polymer crystallization., In Crystallization of Polymers, 2nd Edition, Leo Mandelkern presents a comprehensive treatment of polymer crystallization. Volume 2 of this edition describes crystallization kinetics and mechanisms for simple and complex polymer systems. This book will be an invaluable guide for those working in the area of polymer crystallization., This new edition of Volume 2 of Leo Mandelkern's self-contained work is an up-to-date, authoritative account of the kinetics and mechanisms of polymer crystallization. Progressing from the equilibrium concepts presented in volume 1, it provides a comprehensive treatment of the surrounding theories and experimental results from simple to complex polymer systems. The volume will be an invaluable reference work for all chemists, physicists and materials scientists working in the area of polymer crystallization.
