Macromolecules, 4 Volume Set

There is nothing like colleagues' comments to recommend a book:

'The books by Hans-Georg Elias have in the meantime become a brand for quality when it comes to macromolecular chemistry - and this not only because of the competent approach but also because of their high relevance to practice. The books are a must for every lab, even for those only marginally occupied with polymers! Kleben + Dichten Adhasion

'Polymer Scientists - starting with PhD students - in academia and R&D will profit from the wealth of information on chemical structures and syntheses of polymers. This handbook should be present in every library of polymer institutes. May its frequent use compensate for the enormous effort of both author and publisher!' Journal fur Praktische Chemie

'THE 'Elias' is a classic for macromolecular chemistry - seen both as demanding textbook as well as recommended for deepening knowledge. At this point please allow the question: Why is this work published in German? In summary: The present work is not always easy to read but a profound source of wisdom.' Angewandte

'The work is seen as source of solid and sound knowledge which will not be easily replaceable through any other, similar publication.' Wissenschaftliche Nachrichten

'The work captivates through its precise (handbook-like) presentation of details. On the other hand, the author presents the subject in the context as in good textbooks. One can only congratulate the author for having provided this comprehensive presentation of macromolecular chemistry.' Starch/Starke

'.. a work those involved in macromolecular science cannot do without.' Arzneimittel-Forschung/ Drug Research

'The reader will find a brilliant introduction to the physics of polymers - indispensable basics for well versed handling of polymers.' Nahrung/ Food

'The fact that this legendary series on macromolecules is being published in its sixth edition speaks for itself.' KU - Kunststoffe
