Synopsis

This first-of-its-kind publication reviews the most impor-tant literature on the synthesis, properties, and applications of telechelic polymers. Written by a group of internationally known ex-perts in the field, this text contains a review table which allows the reader to search for given polymers with given end groups. Over 1,250 references are listed, covering primary and review articles as well as patents. Chapters include the preparation of telechelics by stepwise polymerization, anionic polymerization, radical polymer-ization, cationic polymerization, ring-opening polymerization and controlled polymer degradation. Polyols for the polyurethane pro-duction are described, as well as halato-telechelic polymers. Also, a more theoretical contribution on the physical properties of net-works formed from telechelic polymers is provided.

About this title

Synopsis

Due to their low molecular weight, telechelics are easy to melt, have low viscosity, and can be mixed with additives and fillers without high energy input. They are also of great interest for the construction of model networks. Here twelve contributions deal with methods for the preparation of polymers and some theoretical and practical aspects of
