Opis

This book provides a definitive source of information on the chemical reaction engineering aspects of polymer production processes. Recent reviews in the USA by the Chemical Society and the Institute of Chemical Engineers have concluded that polymers will continue to grow in importance as they are tailored to suit specific applications. This book focuses on engineering aspects of reactor design and operation and, in particular, how the properties of polymers are determined by the relationships between chemical kinetics and mechanical design.
