Reaction Engineering of Step Growth Polymerization [E-Book] / by Santosh K. Gupta, Anil Kumar.
The literature in polymerization reaction engineering has bloomed sufficiently in the last several years to justify our attempt in putting together this book. Rather than offer a comprehensive treatment of the entire field, thereby duplicating earlier texts as well as some ongoing bookwriting effort...
