Ionic Polymerizations and Related Processes [Paperback]

In Ionic Polymerization and Related Processes, internationally recognised academic and industrial researchers discuss and debate the latest developments in the field. The major focus is on cationic polymerizations, but related anionic and controlled radical processes are also discussed.Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute, The University of Western Ontario, London, Canada, August 10-20, 1998In Ionic Polymerization and Related Processes, internationally recognised academic and industrial researchers discuss and debate the latest developments in the field.
