Description and Table of Contents

Description

The last twenty years have seen an enormous growth in the number of studies on the role of complexes in free-radical polymerization. New possibilities for polymerization initiation and the significant influence on the kinetics of the elementary polymerization reactions, such as propagation, chain transfer, and termination, are the main areas which have attracted attention from specialists in this field. The most important breakthrough has probably been made in the regulation of free-radical polymerization by various complex-forming substances. Advances in this area have not only contributed to the better understanding of the kinetics and mechanism of radical chain reactions, but they have also created a background for the solution of some practical problems associated with the synthesis of new polymeric materials. This volume provides a survey of the latest achievements in the field of free-radical polymerization. The scope of the volume permits the presentation of these extensive problems in a concise form only, nevertheless it contains an invaluable source of information on topical questions relating to the participation of complexes in free-radical polymerization.
