Polymer Chemistry

This 2nd edition is nearly a total rewrite. The fine structure of the first edition is greatly strengthened by the most recent advances in polymer science and crystal clear explanations of the important phenomena, especially in polymer physics. Worked exercises and challenging homework problems aid student learning. I have used all the major texts to teach introductory polymer science to seniors and also graduate students in chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry and biomedical engineering. Hiemenz and Lodge is the clearly the best.  Polymer Chemistry, Second Edition

I was required to get this book for a college polymer class. Its not bad, but it does lack in examples. It never fully explains how to do many types of problems, which makes studying for exams much harder. If your prof fills in the blanks, its okay, or if you just want to understand some general principles, its great. It just lacks on the particular details of solving more complex problems.

Amazing book for any polymer chemist, beginning to advanced. Covers all the basics all the way into very in-depth details to polymer physics. This has been super helpful not only in class, but for my Ph.D. dissertation work.

It is arrived in time in a foam envelope, and there was a notch on the side of the book's cover, but it do not affect the use of it

I read few chapters and found it is well written. It was very useful for me to understand they the book was trying to tell. This was the first time I ever read anything about polymer but still I found the book readable.

It caused me much pain, but hey, covers the essentials. Came in great shape, on time. Better than buying it at a university bookstore.

Excellent condition

good for this price

Great book

Very good book

This is a very nice textbook for polymer science.
