In this two-volume set, Meyer (polymer reaction engineering, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland) and Keurentjes (process development, Eindhoven University of Technology) present the current state of knowledge on polymer reaction engineering, from the monomer to the final product. The set begins with an overview describing the integration of science and engineering in polymer reaction engineering, then covers the science and chemistry of major types of polymerization, polymer reaction engineering tools and methods, and the physics and physical nature of formed polymers. The details of polymer end-use are also discussed. Process development, safety issues, scale-up, and modeling are examined, and the set concludes with a review of emerging processes. Both editors are affiliated with the European Federation of Chemical Engineering.
