Synopsis

This book provides a definitive source of information on the chemical reaction engineering aspects of polymer production processes. Recent reviews in the USA by the Chemical Society and the Institute of Chemical Engineers have concluded that polymers will continue to grow in importance as they are tailored to suit specific applications. This book focuses on engineering aspects of reactor design and operation and, in particular, how the properties of polymers are determined by the relationships between chemical kinetics and mechanical design. This book should be of interest to chemical engineers who need to understand reaction engineering concepts and techniques for polymer systems as well as advanced students of polymer science and engineering, materials science and chemistry.

About this title

Review

The basic aims of the authors have been well achieved in this eminently readable handbook. It is written in a clear, direct style and contains a large amount of practical information and expertise, undoubtedly based on first-hand experience...I confidently recommend this book to all chemists and others with an interest in surfactants and their analysis' - Chemistry in Britain; ...deserves to be widely read by students and used as a recommended text for polymer manufacturing. - Chemistry in Britain.
