Opis

The breadth and depth of knowledge concerning ethylene synthesis and action, coupled with the rapid pace of new progress makes a survey of the field a daunting task. Therefore, experts who were actively engaged in different aspects of ethylene research from different countries, spanning four continents were enlisted to complete this monograph. This book discusses a historical perspective as well as future trends and possibilities in this field.
