This clear and concise textbook introduces the huge field of polymer science to students taking degree courses in chemistry, materials science and related subjects covering polymers. By focusing on the few major polymers, for example polystyrene and P.V.C., which are in common use and which the students will recognize, the book illustrates simply the basic principles of polymer science. It looks at the factors which give rise to the special properties of polymers, and emphasizes how polymer molecules can be synthesised with different sizes and architectures to tailor the properties of the resulting material. The later chapters then introduce a wide range of polymers, some with special applications now and others with exciting potential for the future. There are exercises at the end of each chapter.

From the First Edition: "Anyone asked to devise an introductory course on polymer science could hardly do better than to base it on this book. Anyone currently giving such a course should certainly examine it with a view to making it a primary recommendation." -- Chemistry and Industry "In writing this book, Dr. Campbell has done a great service for the polymer science and chemistry communities and I will strongly recommend this text as a concise, yet comprehensive, introduction to Polymer Science." -- Professor Robert Lockhead, University of Southern Mississippi "...a very good conventional undergraduate text for a first course in polymer science...hard to beat for value."
