Summary

• This exhaustive reference/text systematically introduces the basic theories and experimental methods of anionic polymerization as well as the synthesis, analysis, and characteristics of anionic polymerized products - detailing the controlled synthesis of linear and branched polymers, random and block copolymers, graft copolymers, macromonomers, and functionalized polymers, as well as many other substances.
• Emphasizing the relationship between fundamental principles and commercial applications, Anionic Polymerization presents the definitions and requirements of controlled anionic polymerization...examines the structures of organometallic initiators...discusses structure-activity relationships of initiators...explains the kinetics, mechanisms, and stereochemistry of anionic polymerization...delineates the production of general purpose and specialty elastomers for use in tires, shoes, and adhesives... and more.
