'The main focus of the monograph is on model of kinetics of photoinitiated polymerization of mono and bifunctional monomers up to high conversion state, their derivation, analysis and comparison with experimental data. Great attention is paid to the polymerization up to high conversion, which is considered as a chemical process in a system changing its own phase…useful for scientists, engineers, and postgraduate training students who are interested in problems both of the polymerization kinetics and general chemical kinetics. The book is aimed mainly at those looking for specialized knowledge in parts of kinetics of polymerization initiated by photons.' Pavol Hrdlovic, Polymer News, 2005.
