Description
This title addresses the latest developments in the field, covering the major advances that have occurred over the past five years in the polymerization and structure of new generation polystyrenes that are broadening its scope of application.* It covers the advent of branched polystyrenes, syndiotactic polystyrene, high-molecular weight general purpose PS, styrenic interpolymers, and clear SBS copolymers* Presents voluminous research previously only reported at conferences in one reference* Unique coverage of a topic not found in the field
Reviews / Votes
"This book should be useful for practicing polymer scientists and engineers who desire a wide-ranging resource on polystyrene materials." (Journal of the American Chemistry Society, Volume 126, 4741) "...a wonderful book...this is a 'breath taking' accomplishment having great value to those involved with styrenics or having interest in styrenics..."
