Description: This timely Second Edition of a useful, hands-on reference focuses on the chemistry and technology involved in the functionalization of monomers and the preparation and processing of polymers to serve specific material needs - highlighting solutions to recently identified problems.

Reflecting the rapid advances that have occurred in the field since the publication of the first edition, Functional Monomers and Polymers, Second Edition describes polymeric catalysts...covers photoresponsive, electrically conducting, magnetic, and oxygen-absorbing and -concentrating polymers...reviews polymeric inclusion compounds, anionic polymer drugs, and novel biomaterials...surveys new topics related to nonlinear optical polymers...examines ion-conducting polymers in detail...and more.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
