Description

Explore the fascinating evolution of polyolefins in this comprehensive academic volume from Springer's Chemists and Chemistry series. Tracing the origins from Berthelot's 1863 lecture on polymerization through the groundbreaking ICI developments of the 1930s, this book documents how polyethylene and related polymers became the world's most widely used polymer materials. Discover the critical discoveries, including von Pechmann's early polymethylene experiments in the late 19th century, and understand the scientific breakthroughs that transformed these simple organic compounds into essential industrial materials. Ideal for materials science students, engineers, and chemistry professionals seeking in-depth knowledge of polymer history and development.

Key Features

Part of the Chemists and Chemistry series volume 7, providing authoritative scholarly perspective on polyolefin development.

Covers the complete history from Berthelot's 1863 polymerization research through the 1930s ICI breakthrough.

Detailed examination of early polymethylene discoveries and the development pathway toward modern polyethylene.

Published by Springer, a leading academic publisher specialising in science and engineering materials.
