## Description

Introduction to Polymers, Third Edition [Young, Robert J., Lovell, Peter A.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Introduction to Polymers, Third Edition

Review: My go-to reference - I've got a number of books on polymers, from the basics, to the more technical aspects of their chemistry, processing, and behavior. This is still my first go to reference when I need to look something up. It's an introductory guide, yes, but it provides a good amount of depth on most topics as well. I think what I like most about this book is how it's written. It's extremely easy to read, with concepts explained in clear English without any unnecessary wording. It's very straight forward and easy to understand, even for those not wholly familiar with the science. The book covers the majority of topics you'll need to know, including definitions and nomenclature, a all the different synthesis methods, different methods of characterization, the different structures seen, and an excellent chapter on the mechanical properties and behavior, including deformation mechanisms. I'd recommend this to any budding materials science student, whether or not it's required reading. Often times I found myself coming to this book rather than the required text, simply for ease of reading or to better familiarize myself with the concept before trying to work through the (often times) poorly worded required text.
Review: A good text book for beginners on Polymers - This book is a great textbook about Polymers. I previously have no serious background in chemistry but I still can follow the book very well. The material presented is well selected and the ordering of chapters is well organized. The printing and the page layout feels great. (Actually I deeply believed that this is the way textbook should be designed. Those colored organic chemistry textbooks are just way too distracting!!). Overall, I believe this is a great textbook on the topic of Polymeric materials.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than Odian for starting in Polymer Chemistry
*by M***5 on December 16, 2016*

Very useful text for beginning study of polymers. It approaches the subject from a chemistry standpoint and is useful for looking up reactions. I find it easier to read and study from than Odian's Principles of Polymerization. I would recommend this book with Polymer Chemistry by Heimenz and Lodge for anyone taking polymer courses or starting in polymer research. Using the two texts together gives you a nice overview of important points in polymer chemistry and engineering and gives useful examples of real world problems.
