“… an excellent book for beginning polymer chemistry courses. Designed for an undergraduate audience, it is a very clear treatment of large molecule science. Polymer naming is discussed immediately, and there is an appropriate appendix to clarify the many acronyms used in discussing polymers. … Each chapter has exercises to help with understanding and a group of suggested supplemental readings for more in-depth information.
