"The book is highly recommendable for graduate students and
researchers in polymer science." (TPE Magazine, March
2010)

"This book would be ideal for any polymerist working in the field.
It would also serve as a graduate level text on the subject."
(Materials & Manufacturing Processes, June/July 2006)

"This book appears to be a useful and timely treatise discussing
recent developments." (Polymer News)

"This volume aims to bring together significant recent
advances on this topic...." (Apollit, 2005)
