Provides an overview of the family of polyester polymers whichcomprise an important group of plastics that span the range ofcommodity polymers to engineering resins. It describes thepreparation, properties and applications of polyesters. Readerswill also find details on polyester-based elastomers, biodegradablealiphatic polyester, liquid crystal polyesters and unsaturatedpolyesters for glass-reinforced composites.
* Presents an overview of the most recent developments.
* Explores synthesis, catalysts, processes, properties andapplications.
* Looks at emerging polyester materials as well as existingones.
* Written by foremost experts from both academia and industry,ensuring that both fundamentals and practical applications arecovered.
