According to the preface of this new desk reference published by the ACS, this book is "intended to be a practical manual for the entry-level polymer scientist that, although it omits step-by-step instructions gives a firm scientific foundation of basic principles and teaches how the measurements made relate to molecular structure and thus to physical properties".
