Book Description:
This book deals with polymers and composite materials, which is currently one of the fastest developing branches of science and practice, which merit close attention. The collection also contains several studies on low-molecular compounds allowing understanding of reactivity and mechanism of processes proceeding in polymers and composites. The research material of this outstanding new book, was prepared by scientists from Russia, Georgia, Ukraine and Belarus; countries that have some of the worlds top research centers on synthesis and study of polymer properties.
