This book provides a broad overview of polymer coatings used in the electronics and semiconductor industry. The first several chapters go over the major classes of polymers used in electronics. The subsequent chapters cover the manufacturing and properties of polymers as it relates to electronics. The final chapters cover different electronic applications polymers are used in.

The text itself is easily readable by engineers or scientists, practicing or in training. The math and relevant equations are kept at the level of algebra. There are a lot of pictures and diagrams that show the structure of different polymers, and how they are formed.

The book includes a lot of references and literature data that has been compiled into easy-to-read tables. A typical example is a listing of dielectric coatings, their trade names, dielectric properties, and their suppliers.

This book serves as both a good textbook, and a handy reference. I would not purchase it though; it is somewhat dated by now, and similar texts are published on a yearly basis.
