Interest in preparing new polymers peaked about 1966. " Interest in preparing new monomers has also waned, even though it is well recognized that monomers with special functionality are greatly needed to fine-tune existing polymers for specific tasks.

Polymers and polymer based composites have gained increasingly larger applications in medicine and surgery.

Proceedings of a Symposium on Recent Developments in Adhesive Chemistry, sponsored by the Divsion of Organic Coatings and Plastics Chemistry of the American Chemical Society, held March 21-23, 1983, in Seattle, Washington

As a result, a broad coverage of the subject matter includes statistical thermodynamics, surface physics, surface analysis, fracture mechanics, viscoelasticity, failure analysis, surface modification, adsorption kinetics, bio polymer adsorption, etc.

Phase transfer catalysis or interfacial catalysis is a syn thetic technique involving transport of an organic or inorganic salt from a solid or aqueous phase into an organic liquid where reaction with an organic-soluble substrate takes place.

Covers novel additives, the established varieties and also considers environmental concerns, interactions between additives and legislative change. This book is suitable for those concerned with plastics and additives.

The art of using chemical agents for medication dates back into antiquity, although most of the earliest examples used plants, herbs, and other natural materials. While some medical agents do indeed possess a relatively high degree of specificity, most agents are far more systemic than would be desired.

The conference "Nonlinear Optics and Optical Computing" was held May 11-19, 1988 in Erice, Sicily.

Proceedings of an international workshop held in Erice, Sicily, Italy, April 17-30, 1986

The emergence of reaction injection molding (RIM) has been fol lowed by the industry with mounting interest. The book is divided into four parts covering different areas of RIM development. In the last part the engineering and technological aspects of RIM, such as glass reinforcement, mixing, flow and moldability are covered in detail.

The 20th Century saw an unprecedented emphasis and dependence on nonrenewable resources as energy sources (petroleum, coal, ura nium) and the fabric of technology (drugs, clothing, shelter, tires, computer parts).

This book contains the proceedings of the Symposium on FT-IR Characterization of Polymers, which was held under the auspices of the Division of Polymer Chemistry, American Chemical Society (ACS) during the annual ACS meeting in Philadelphia, August, 1984.

My heart sank when I was approached by Dr Hastings and by Professor Briggs (Senior Editor of Materials Science and Technology and Series Editor of Polymer Science and Technology Series at Chapman & Hall, respectively) to edit a book with the provisional title Handbook of Poly propylene.

This book is an extended version of the proceedings of the Symposium on Polymer Composites, Interfaces, which was held under the auspices of the Division of Polymer Chemistry, American Chemical Society (ACS) during the annual ACS meeting in Seattle, March, 1983.
