Description
This authoritative, widely cited book has been used all over the world. The fourth edition incorporates the latest developments in the
field while maintaining the core objectives of previous editions: to correlate properties with chemical structure and to describe methods
that permit the estimation and prediction of numerical properties from chemical structure, i.e. nearly all properties of the solid, liquid,
and dissolved states of polymers.
