Product Description

American Scientist

[In] the book are a helpful glossary and a reading list for those interested in exploring the topic in greater depth.


Review

As its subtitle promises, [this book] does offer an introduction to the subject, along with a brief overview of the chemistry of plastics. Rounding out the book are a helpful glossary, a reading list for those interested in exploring the topic in greater depth and an appendix of recipes for making your own bioplastics from common ingredients.
(American Scientist )

A very nice introduction to the field of biodegradable polymers.
(Choice )

The flow of topics is natural and intuitive. Definitions and diagrams are generally plain, precise, and easy to understand. . . . This book is recommended for college-level students as well as for the general reader with little formal background in chemistry who desires an up-to-date presentation on current and future trends in plastics.
(Armen S. Casparian Science Books & Film )

5.0 out of 5 stars Great explanation of this very relevant topic, 16 Sep 2007
By M. Linnard (Newcastle UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Came to it with only a basic understanding of plastics and now feel alot more emlightened. Helpful to understand basic organic chemistry but all well explained.
