This is a lovely introductory text for polymer science, hitting on all the major concepts of characterization, structure, mechanical properties, and synthesis. Topics are covered very concisely, but with sufficient detail to be useful in several different graduate level courses on polymers. Great background for understanding Flory-Huggins theory, chain dimensions. And an excellent price as well! Just my opinions as a grad student in some polymers courses...

This is an interesting introducing to basic properties on polymers. Specialy chapter five, wich talks about mechanical properties. I would recommend this book as a guide text for an introductory course to polymers, specily on mechanical properties. The mathematical treatment is just enough, without unnecesary ecuations but clear and simple.

An excellent and a must read for anyone with an interest in polymeric materials. It easily is the best introductory book on the subject and I'd recommend it to all students - believe it - i've been taught by the authors! I only wish they'd also write on more specialized topics in Polymer Science.

I must say this is one of the best texts for polymer chemistry and physics. End of chapter problems are challenging but not impossible. My only complaint is about the materials used in making the book. Poor grade of glue and ink results in pages falling out from the book and text smears just from light touching.

This book covers all topics in polymer science in a deep (but not boring)way. It is one of the best books on the subject!

the seller is great. Although I did not get the book I want, I am satisfied with the treatment of the stuff loss.
