Dieser Band beantwortet Ihnen wirklich jede Frage zur Ringöffnungspolymerisation: Monomere, Methoden, Stereochemie, Anwendungen und Spezialgebiete werden gleichermaßen ausführlich und auf dem neuesten Stand beschrieben. Die wichtigsten Monomerklassen (Heterocyclen, cyclische Olefine und Alkine, Cycloalkane) werden jeweils separat besprochen; für alle Prozesse finden Sie Mechanismen und Angaben zu den Eigenschaften der polymeren Produkte. Zwei abschließende Kapitel diskutieren die Ringöffnungspolymerisation im Kontext der Grünen Chemie.
