Describes new polymerization mechanisms, polymerizations under unusual conditions, and non-polymerization routes to specialty polymers developed during the last decade. Addressed to organic chemists working in industrial or academic contexts, discusses the fundamental chemistry and unique features of each method, and the special uses and qualities of the polymers thus produced. Includes a general survey of developments in the field, and chapters on groups transfer and ring-opening polymerization, transformation reactions, chemical modifications of preformed polymers, and the terminally reactive oligomers, telechelic oligomers and macromers.

Covers the latest methods of polymer synthesis. - British Book News; This is an excellent little book: it includes much more information and critical commentary on topics of major interest to many readers of Polymer International than might be expected.. - Polymer International; Organisers of courses in polymer chemistry should study this book carefully to see what new material they must find room for in their courses. Chemistry and Industry; This work is an excellent source of information on modern developments in polymer synthesis. I found the chapters on group transfer polymerization, ring opening metathesis polymerization and chemical modification of preformed polymers to be particularly informative - Polymer News
