The second edition of this well-known work provides a comprehensive overview of industrial polymers. It is divided into four parts: general introduction, addition polymers, condensation polymers, and special polymers. Materials ranging from general plastics, man-made fibers, and elastomers, to blends, alloys, and functional polymers are included. The book evolved from the author's experience teaching a course on industrial polymers at Wesleyan University, and it therefore is ideal as an upper-level text as well as reference for professionals.  Though most textbooks in polymer science deal with principles and are slanted toward material properties rather than chemistry, Ulrich's book details polymers which are used extensively in today's industry, their significance and social impact, and current and future trends, such as the synthesis of functional macromolecules. This second edition also introduces new copolymers with improved properties, and blends and alloys of the major thermoplastic polymers that are replacing homopolymers and copolymers. Other topics of interest are reaction polymers and self-reinforcing liquid crystal polymers, which have added a new dimension to polymer composites. Chemists, chemical engineers, and materials scientists will find this proven work an indispensable resource.

<p>Ulrich presents a concise, authoritative, practical survey of the world of industrial polymers. After a general discussion of polymer production and processing, he examines the types of polymers manufactured on a commercial scale: polyolefins, acrylics, vinyls, polyesters, polyamides, and heatresistant, inorganic, photo- and electro-conductive polymers. Ulrich also discusses the emergence of functional polymers, especially in the design of new drug delivery systems, polymeric catalysts, and polymeric reagents. Students as well as professionals will benefit from this clearly written reference.</p>
