He starts with introductory concepts such as basic definitions and the polymerization process, molecular architecture, and polymer nomenclature, continuing with chain dimensions, structures, transitional phenomena, polymers in solution, polymer molecular weights, condensation (step-growth) polymerization, free radical polymerization, chain co-polymerization, ionic chain polymerization, coordination addition polymerization, and ring-opening polymerization.
These may be illustrated with the examples of ethylene for the addition polymerization and that of a diamine-diacid system for the condensation polymerization.
