Vinyls are the largest family of polymers, and their use pervades a wide variety
of industrial applications and consumer products. Radical polymerization is one
of the most widely used methods for producing polymers, especially for vinyl
polymers. Taking an in-depth look at the chemistry and technology behind the
production of these important macromolecules, the Handbook of Vinyl Polymers:
Radical Polymerization and Technology examines various initiating systems and
process methods for synthesizing vinyl polymers. It examines various radical
initiators and weighs the benefits and limitations of each. The final chapter
provides easy access to important properties and structural information.
