Textbook of Polymer Chemistry Brent Burton

A polymer is a large macromolecule, which is formed by the process of polymerization of monomers. The sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the chemical synthesis, physical and chemical properties, and the structure of macromolecules and polymers is referred to as polymer chemistry. It primarily deals with synthetic and organic compositions. Synthetic polymers are used in commercial materials and products such as plastics and rubbers. They are also major components of composite materials. Some of the techniques used within this field are free-radical polymerization, ionic polymerization, polycondensation, protein biosynthesis and cell-free protein synthesis. This textbook provides comprehensive insights into the field of polymer chemistry. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and techniques related to this field have been included in this book. It is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.
