Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Taking the most common polymers, this undergraduate textbook describes the basic principles of polymer science. Using polymers with which students will be familiar, for example polystyrene and PVC, this book relates the structure of polymers to their properties, and explains how and their properties can be tailored for a particular use.
MoreLong description:
This clear and concise textbook introduces the huge field of polymer science to students taking degree courses in chemistry, material science and related subjects covering polymers. By focusing on the few major polymers, for example polystyrene and PVC, which are in common use and which the students will recognise, the book illustrates simply the basic principles of polymer science. It looks at the factors which give rise to the special properties of polymers, and emphasizes how polymer molecules can be synthesised with different sizes and architectures to tailor the properties of the resulting material. The later chapters then introduce a wide range of polymers some with special applications now and others with exciting potential for the future. There are exercises at the end of each chapter.
A feature of the book is the extensive use of figures and tables that include real data. There are also test questions at the end of each chapter. Times Higher Education Supplement, February 2003.
