Review

"Concise but still consistentthe authors show how it is possible to couple the laws of mass, momentum, and energy conservation with the knowledge on the fundamentals of polymer behaviorComplementary to the text, each chapter ends with selected problems which contribute to its better understandingThe book covers, in a systematic and clear presentation, the essential problems of polymer science[T]his book is a very useful material for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, professors, and designer engineers, as well as for the specialists working in the synthesis, processing, and polymer exploitation." - Memoriile Sectiilor Stiintifice, Vol. 4, No. 26, 2003
