Summary "By focusing on the few major polymers, this book illustrates simply the basic principles of polymer science. It looks at the factors which give rise to the special properties of polymers and emphasizes how polymer molecules can be synthesized with different sizes and architectures to tailor the properties of the resulting material. The later chapters then introduce a wide range of polymers, some with special applications and others with exciting potential for the future." -- Publisher description
