Thermal Stability of Engineering Heterochain Thermoresistant Polymers

'This book is the result of an interesting and largely successful effort to integrate the data obtained in Russian laboratories on high-temperature resistant, high performance organic polymers with the results obtained in other countries on the same or analogous systems. (...) the attempt to integrate Russian research with 'western' science has been largely successful. Anyone, anywhere who has an interest in thermally resistant, engineering polymers is sure to find much of interest in this book.' D.M. Wiles, Victoria, BC, Canada, Polymer News, 2005.
