Polymer Chemistry Online A-Z

This polymer chemistry online book has been part of CROW's polymer database since 2016. The objective of this online book is to provide an introduction to polymer chemistry. All articles are presented online in HTML and are organized by scientific and engineering field and each article is interlinked to related topics. Throughout this website you will find links to other websites that present related information.

The content presented on this website provides an overview of polymer chemistry. Although there is less detail than can be found in standard chemistry textbooks, the information should still be helpful to graduate and undergraduate students, polymer chemists, chemical engineers, and to professionals in related industries.

At this point in time, only a small number of topics in polymer chemistry have been covered in this online chemistry book. In time, many other important topics in polymer chemistry will be added, making this online chemistry book a valuable resource for all people interested in polymer chemistry.

The editor appreciates suggestions for improvements and corrections and on new topics. Your input plays an important role in keeping this online book up to date.

 

About Polymer Chemistry
