Over the last
twenty years, the field of the chemistry
of polymerization witnessed enormous
growth through the development of new
concepts, catalysts, processes etc.
Examples are: non classical living
polymerizations (group transfer
polymerization, living carbocationic
polymerization, living radical
polymerization and living ring-opening
metathesis polymerization (ROMP)); new
catalysts (metallocenes and late
transition metal catalysts for
stereospecific polymerization, Schrock
and Grubbs catalyst for ROMP among
others) and new processes such as
miniemulsion, microemulsion
polymerization and dispersion
polymerization (in polar solvents).
Apart from the developments in the
chemistry of polymerization, methods
have been developed for the evaluation
of highly reliable rate constants of
propagation in radical as well as
cationic polymerization. All these have
revolutionized the field of synthetic
polymer chemistry.
In the book,
fundamentals of both the new and old
polymerization chemistry have been dealt
with. The new chemistry has been given
nearly equal space along with the old.
