3.0 out of 5 stars An old Textbook for Polymer Chemistry, January 22, 2001
This review is from: Textbook of Polymer Science (Hardcover)
I have been acquainted with this book since 15 years ago.I have taught this book for 8 years in undergraduate courses . It is the only book in polymer chemistry which has nearly all the topics relating to polymer chemistry both for beginners and also for advanced level readers .Even though it is old it has many subjects all together that can not be found in another book .I think such topics as engineering subjects and kinetics and also molecular weight equations should be explained more to be more understandable to all and this is the main disadvantages of the book .
