Principles of Polymerization

As I do for unique projects, gathering as many references of established knowledge is a key part of my development process. Picking up a copy of this book and a few others with specialized attention to everything polymer, it has been the best of three technical books I picked up on the subject and will serve you well from filling in your missing knowledge chain to general refreshers on polymer science. Very, very excellent material.

The Bible in Polymers as they say, really helpfull!

While Hiemenz/Lodge-Polymer Chemistry supplies good detail it is a bit dry. I have often referred to Odian to clarify a concept in more understandable terms. Additionally, some of the examples in Lodge are terrible. Polymer Chemistry was the required text for my Polymers course and Odian has helped me tremendously for test prep, etc. I would highly recommend the purchase. Regarding quality, book was new as described with fast shipping.

Book came on time, it was hard cover with no pencil marks and clean and new. You are not gonna regret. Perfect book for perfect price!❤️

Good book that covers all the basics of polymer science.

It is amazing to find out the book is totally new. I am glad to get it by half of the price for a new book. It worthes.

The book is becoming quickly outdated and lacks a comprehensive review of major advances in polymer chemistry. The book has a strong focus on reaction kinetics and equations as it pertains to both step growth and free radical chemistries, however, the synthesis and applications are lacking. The book could use a much better section on controlled radical polymerization. Overall not in love with the book, but it provides a solid fundamental understanding of polymer chemistry.

I can see this being more useful to someone who has been in the field for years but certainly not a textbook students to learn from. The author gives a dry, boring journey into polymers that is more encyclopedic than learning.
