About this ebook
Written by a highly prestigious and knowledgeable team of top scientists in the field, this book provides an overview of the current status of controlled/living polymerization, combining the synthetic, mechanistic and application-oriented aspects.
From the contents:
* Anionic Vinyl Polymerization
* Carbocationic Polymerization
* Radical Polymerization
* Coordinative Polymerization of Olefins
* Ring-Opening Polymerization of Heterocycles
* Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization
* Macromolecular Architectures
* Complex Functional Macromolecules
* Synthesis of Block and Graft Copolymers
* Bulk and Solution Structures of Block Copolymers
* Industrial Applications
While some of the material is based on chapters taken from the four-volume work "Macromolecular Engineering", it is completely updated and rewritten to reflect the focus of this monograph.
Must-have knowledge for polymer and organic chemists, plastics technologists, materials scientists and chemical engineers.

About the author
Axel H.E. Muller holds the Chair of Macromolecular Chemistry at Bayreuth University, Germany. He received his academic degrees in chemistry from the University of Mainz, Germany, with G.V. Schulz. His research focuses on the synthesis and self-organization of well-defined polymer structures by living/controlled techniques. Professor Muller has contributed over 300 publications in polymer science. He received the IUPAC World Polymer Congress MACRO 2004 award "Distinguished Polymer Scientist". In addition, he has been coordinator of various European research networks, organizer of international meetings and is Senior Editor of the journal Polymer.
Krzysztof Matyjaszewski is J.C. Warner Professor of Natural Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA and also adjunct Professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences. His research focus is on macromolecular engineering, especially on the synthesis of well-defined copolymers using atom transfer radical polymerization and other controlled/living polymerization techniques. He is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and the Polish Academy of Sciences and is the editor of the journals Progress in Polymer Science and Central European Journal of Chemistry. Professor Matyjaszewski authored 13 books, over 60 book chapters, more than 600 peer-reviewed publications and holds 38 US patents. He received several awards from the American Chemical Society, including the 2009 Presidential Award in Green Chemistry.
