Polymerization: Synthesis and Characterization

Polymerization science has evolved to acquire a position of great significance in various fields including manufacturing sciences, biology, pharmaceuticals etc. This book contains contributions from number of authors engaged in the field of polymerization. The topics included are polymer characterization by atomic force microscopy of the polymer network structure generated in Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals Cells; polymerization of olefins; ring opening polymerization; polymerization by microwave irradiation technique of acrylamide/starch/acrylic acid; cationic polymerization of vinyl monomers; plant cell wall polymers; block and graft copolymerization by living/controlled polymerization; emulsion polymerization; rheology of biomaterials; polyADP-Ribosylation in post-fertilization and genome reprogramming; and fabrication of doped microstructures by two-photon polymerization. The aim of this book is to serve as a valuable source of reference and inspire readers to pursue research and in-depth study in this field.
