Environmental concerns are increasingly central in industrial chemistry, and this unique compilation presents a variety of strategies for reducing or eliminating the use of traditional organic solvents in polymer synthesis and processing. It spans a wide range of polymerization mechanisms, scales of production, and types of products and markets. Methods discussed include controlled bulk free radical polymerization, polyester melt polycondensation, the use of "pre-polymers" in network formation, reactive extrusion, and high pressure carbon dioxide as a benign solvent. The breadth of chemistry involved underscores the importance of these new techniques, and this valuable collection is likely to lead to further advances in waste reduction, novel chemical processes, and product enhancements.

"Significant attention has been devoted to the reduction or elimination of traditional organic solvents from industrial processes due to detrimental environmental effects on the ecosystem. This volume was developed from a fall 1997 symposium sponsored by the polymer chemistry division of the ACS to consolidate and raise awareness of the latest developments in solvent-free processes. The research efforts reported in the 17 papers focus on such diverse areas as controlled bulk free radical polymerization, polyester melt polycondensation, the use of pre-polymers in network formation, and the use of high pressure carbon dioxide as an environmentally benign solvent."--SciTech Book News
