Description
This book deals with the organic chemistry of polymers which find tech nological use as adhesives, fibres, paints, plastics and rubbers. For the most part, only polymers which are of commercial significance are considered and the primary aim of the book is to relate theoretical aspects to industrial practice. The book is mainly intended for use by students in technical institutions and universities who are specializing in polymer science and by graduates who require an introduction to this field. There are available several books dealing with the physical chemistry of polymers but the organic chemistry of polymers has not received so much attention. In recognition of this situation and because the two aspects of polymer chemistry are often taught separately, this book deals specifically with organic chemistry and topics of physical chemistry have been omitted. Also, in this way the book has been kept to a reasonable size. This is not to say that integration of the two areas of polymer science is undesirable; on the contrary, it is important that the inter-relationship should be appreciated. I was gratified by the favourable comments prompted by the first edition of the book and I have therefore retained the same organization in this second edition. Nevertheless, the book has been extensively revised to reflect the developments which have taken place."

I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase of Commentaries on the Laws/Rules of England by Blackstone (1879, Hardcover)! The seller provided super fast delivery—I was amazed at how quickly the book arrived. It was securely packaged and in excellent condition, exactly as described. This beautifully preserved edition is a true historical and legal treasure. Blackstone’s Commentaries remain one of the most influential legal works ever written, and owning this 1879 edition is an absolute privilege.

Seller was quick to post. Book was in decent condition given its age. Would buy from this seller again. The only thing is the book was a mass market paperback, not a trade paper as listed, but again, given its age, I anticipated it would be. Trade paperbacks were not common in 1976.
