A volume of the ACS Symposium Series, this book seeks to address a gap in the teaching of polymer science in undergraduate organic chemistry. In doing so, it provides a useful resource for instructors wishing to reinforce their teaching of concepts in fundamental organic chemistry with material that serves to better engage students in the applied and cross-disciplinary aspects of the subject.
