Happily, numerous references are given which will enable the student to delve more deeply into m y topic that interests him. as the exposition of most of the topics taken up by Billmeyer is rather brief. 8, AUGUST, 1957Ĭonsiderable studies of the literature. But for n course devoted solely to the physical chemistry of high polymers, for eramplc, the student will have to supplement his rending in this hook with VOLUME 34, NO. The 'book was mitten as a textbook in the organic and phyaical chemistry of high polymers' for use in graduate level courses. Thus, in t,he writing of the hook he has been ahle to call on a wealth of informat,ion gained from his industvial researches as well as from his experience as a teacher l'raetieally every aspect of polymer chemistry that this reviewer can think of is troatcd in the hook, except the sul,ject of the specific heats of high polymcrs and theit. The author is a well-known industrial high polymer chemist, but one who has also given courses in this subject a t the Univcr~ity of Ilelawwe.

There are three appendixes giving a useful gloswary of symbols, a table of physical constants, and a list of trade names. The book is divided into five sections: Introduction, Physicill Chemistry of Polymers, Kinetics of Polymcrizstion, Properties of Plastics, Properties of Fibers and Properties of Elastomers. THIS book is a comprehensive treatise of polymer chemistry, covering all aspects of the subject from the fundamental physical chemistry of polymers to details of eommerrial plastics, fibers, etc. PURDY LoursInN* ST*FEUNIVE.~,TS B*TONįred W.

As x whole this manual is entirely desirable and sat is far tor,^ for the students who do not need an pntensivc quantitative background. It is a needless sidestepping of precise understanding which could be experienced by the student in repeated use of the terms molarity and normality, gram molecular, gram formula, and gram equivalent weight. This addition of 'F' adds to the confusion for beginning students. Scientists use 'F' to denote Fahrenheit, fluorine, and Fsraday.

weight) is used for quantity of solute per liter, in line with the modern trend in some laboratory manuals and textbooks. Eight semimicro qualitative analysis experiments are designed t o guide the student in determining a scheme for the analysis of some common anions and cations. One experiment on the hydrocarbons and their derivatives gives the student nn idea of the behavior of some organic compounda and how the classes can be recomised. There is a wide choice of exoeriments with special emphasis on the preparation of inorganic substances and the study of their properties.
