This book is a collection of the invited special lectures which were delivered at the 34th International Symposium on Macromolecules (MACRO 92), held under the auspices of IUPAC, Prague, Czechoslovakia, 13--18 July 1992. The articles included in this volume range from classic topics in polymer science, such as polymerization chemistry, and structures and properties of macromolecules and polymers, to topics in the field of functional polymers such as pharmaceutical polymers, polymers with electrically and optically useful properties, polymeric sorbents, catalysts, and reagents. In addition articles on new polymeric materials, polymer blends and composites as well as the degradation and stabilization of polymeric materials are included in this volume.

Within this text, for the first time the synthesis, structural characteristics, physical properties, applications and potential applications of polysiloxanes, polycarbosilanes, polysilazanes, polysilanes, and other silicon-containing polymers are detailed. For years to come this book will be the first point of entry for those seeking to learn about the very significant differences that exist between carbon-based polymers and those with silicon in their backbone.

Polymeric materials include plastics, gels, synthetic fibres, and rubbers. They are all-important both in industry and in daily life. Unlike liquid water, ice, or sugar solution, polymers are not homogeneous. They are said to consist of two or more phases, and their production and processing, as well as their properties and uses, depend on an understanding of the transitions that take place between these phases. This new textbook uses fundamental principles to classify phase separation phenomena in polymer systems, and describes simple molecular models explaining the observed behaviour.

At the start of the 1950s, Ziegler and Natta discovered that simple metallorganic catalysts are capable of transforming olefins into linear polymers with highly ordered structures. This pioneering discovery was recognized with a Nobel Prize in 1963. In the 80s and 90s, the development of molecular defined metallocenes led to a renaissance for non-polar polyolefin materials. Designer catalysts allowed a greater precision in defining properties of the material. The past 10 years have seen the discovery of new catalysts based on late transition metals, which allow the combination of polar monomers with non-polar olefins and thus lead to innovative materials. Here, the world's leading authors from industry and academia describe the latest developments in this fascinating field for the first time in such comprehensive detail. In so doing, they introduce readers systematically to the basic principles and show how these new catalysts can effectively be used for polymerization reactions. This makes the book an ideal and indispensable reference for specialists, advanced students, and scientists of various disciplines dealing with research into catalysts and materials science.

Comprising one volume of Functional and Modified Polymeric Materials, Two-Volume Set, this well-organized collection of papers by Professor Eli Ruckenstein and co-workers focuses on functional and modified polymeric materials prepared mainly through solution polymerization and surface polymerization. Although solution polymerization has been broadly utilized for the preparation of polymeric materials, the book shows significant approaches to special classes of polymeric materials including functional polymers by living ionic polymerization, degradable and decrosslinkable polymers, semi- and interpenetrating polymer network pervaporation membranes, and soluble conducting polymers. It also focuses on preparing and modifying conductive surface of polymer or polymer-based materials.
