POIYMCR VCnRBOOK 3 Edited by Richard A. Pethrick, University of Strathclyde, UK Associate editor: G.E. Zaikov, Institute of Chemical Physics, USSR Academy of Sciences, USSR Polymer Yearbook is a desk-reference annual that helps keep the polymer scientist abreast of the latest developments by reporting the most pertinent current information. Each Polymer Yearbook contains practical, up-to-date information, everyday reference data, cogent reviews of key aspects of polymer science, and details of important products, publications and forthcoming events. ". . . The comprehensive academic library will want to have the series for its annual coverage of polymer science, not otherwise available to an interested reader. The layout, printing, accuracy, coverage and overall quality are excellent."—Choice "Polymer Yearbook's practical combination of reference data and current-awareness features are likely to make it an invaluable tool for polymer scientists."—European Plastics News 'The editors are to be congratulated for putting together a much needed "polymer handbook" that will be updated each year and provide, at an affordable cost, readily accessible, significant information to assist polymer scientists."—Rubber Partial contents: Elements of Polymer Science · Nomenclature in Inorganic and Organic Chemistry · International System of Units (SI) Physical Quantities · Physical Properties of Common Polymers · Polymeric Reagents, Protecting Groups and Catalysis · Modern Trends in Heterocyclic Chemistry · Thermal Degradation of Polymers in the Presence of Additives · Kinetic Aspects of Degradation and Stabilization of Polymers · Structure Transformations in Liquid Crystalline Polymers in Electric and Magnetic Fields · Network Formation—From Basic Theories Towards More Realistic Models · Abbreviations for Thermoplastics, Thermosets, Fibers, Elastomers and Additives · Review Article Source Selection · Publications in Polymer Science · Compilation of Journals in the Area of Macromolecular Science · Compilation of Dissertations in Polymer Science • Compositions Trade Names and Producers of Polymers · Calendar of Meetings in Polymer Science and Related Topics · Index
