Editorial Reviews

"Functional Polymers was developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering . . . Very few books on the market today deal with functional polymers, and those that do tend to focus mainly on functional polymers for specialty applications, say the editors of Functional Polymers. This book addresses that omission, which, they note, has become critical in recent years, as tremendous progress has been made in synthesizing these polymers. Beginning with an overview chapter on functional polymers, the text is divided into three sections. The first section, 'Direct Polymerization,' covers the synthesis of functional polymers by direct methods, such as anionic, cationic, free radical, and coordination polymerization. The second section, 'Post Polymerization,' covers synthesis by post-polymerization functionalization. And the third covers 'Novel Approaches and Structures.'"—Plastics Engineering

"A functional polymer is one which contains functional groups which can permit further reaction. They are usually absed on linear backbones and the functionalization can be introduced at the chain-ends, or in the chain, or by block or graft copolymerizations. Functional polymers with three-dimensional structures have also been produced. The book consists of four sections. The first is a short review of functional polymers and hopes to give examples of the types of synthetic schemes that will be encountered later in the book. . . . The second section covers synthetic strategies for functional polymers. . . . The third section, two chapters, covers post polymerization reactions. . . . The final section is entitled novel approaches and/or structures. Two of the themes in this section are nanostructures and biodegradability. . . . There is no doubt that functionalization of polymers is an important topic and anyone interested in the area will certainly wish to look at the book."—Polymer News
