I used this book as a textbook in a class. I feel that it is not really that strong of a book for most introductory polymer courses. I feel that either Alcock's book for a course stressing systhesis and characterization or Heimetz's book for courses stressing polymer physics are better. Of all the polymer books on my shelf, it is probably the least useful to me now. It is at the right level for begining students, but there are better choices for beginners out there.

All those who want to make a solid base in this subject must study this book.This book has made each and evry concept of polymer science simple and easy to understand.The difficulties that students encounter in Polymer weight measurements have been dealt with beutifully and one can easily follow it.The concepts of isomerization and copolymers are also explained clearly. In all I can say that this book is worth reading otherwise you may miss something important in Polymer Science Engineering.

An excellent book covering a broad range of relevent topical matter. Good for both undergrad and graduate level reference and problems.

Does a good job with the science and presents it concisely. However, fails miserably on the applications end.
