Reviews

"This book should be in most libraries where the student can find beginning data on many topics in polymeric materials."
-Polymer News

"…the quality of the articles and the reasonable price make this an excellent purchase for institutions with science programs that do not own Polymeric Materials Encyclopedia; those with undergraduate concentrations in polymer science or graduate programs in polymer science, chemical engineering, chemistry, or biotechnology will require the entire parent set."
-M.A. Manion,Choice, March 1999

"This concise version would be a good addition for a collection, which did not contain the main work. It would be a handy reference work for a researcher to have in office or laboratory."
-Robert Michaelson in E-Streams, December 1999
