Handbook of Polyolefins cover

A handbook on polyolefins. This second edition includes new material on the structure, morphology and properties of polyolefin (PO) synthesis. It focuses on synthetic advances, the use of additives, special coverage of PO blends, composites and fibres, and surface treatments. It also addresses the problem of interfacial and superficial phenomena.

"[This] second, up-dated, revised and enlarged edition … had not been possible without the obvious success of the first one … . … Each chapter is supported by rich references, almost 4,700 in total, as well as by figures, diagrams and photographs. The high quality of the volume is first assured by the careful selection of the contributors, and also by the rigorous and competent coordination of the editor. … This new edition represents an interesting and valuable handbook on polyolefins, being thus highly recommended to polymer specialists in universities, research institutes and industry."
- Cellulose Chemical Technology, Vol. 36, Nos. 3-4, 2002
"From the foreword to the first edition. . . From the history of polyolefins to their various important applications, every significant progressive development and invention is covered in this book. . ..a major addition to the literature."
---Herman F. Mark Praise for the first edition. . .
". . .Of special note are the chapters on properties, which have many tables of experimental data taken under a range of conditions. This information, which is otherwise rather difficult to unearth, makes the book an especially useful reference collection."
---IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine and about the second edition. . .
"This large collection of articles...is significantly expanded from the first edition.... The articles, as in the first edition, are authoritative contributions by established researchers, are clearly written and contain useful tabular and graphical data and references to the research literature. This volume is highly desirable for libraries serving researchers and students in polymer science or materials science. "
