Polymer Science: A Comprehensive Reference, Second Edition, Eight Volume Set, is an authoritative and comprehensive treatment of the role of polymers in modern science and technology. Like the first edition, it gives a broad, in-depth, and fundamental understanding of polymer synthesis, polymerization processes, properties, characterization methods, and techniques to develop polymer nanostructures and soft objects. Articles also discuss the myriad applications of polymeric materials. In this fully revised and updated edition, a far more thorough focus is trained on issues surrounding sustainability, energy, and biomedical fields.

A complete overview of the flourishing role of polymers in modern science and technology, this new edition retains the critically acclaimed approach of the previous edition while introducing readers to the latest developments in the field.
