Frontal Polymerization: Theory, Synthesis and Nonlinear Dynamics

This monograph is about investigation of frontal polymerization technique for synthesizing new materials and understanding the fundamentals involved. Monograph gives overall information on the development of frontal polymerization and covers different types of systems explored by frontal polymerization. Monograph includes investigation of new way of synthesizing polymers, such as water triggered frontal polymerization and gives in depth experimental and characterization details for some of the novel homo and copolymers synthesized by frontal polymerization. The monograph also includes detailed analysis of instabilities and physio- chemical understanding of patterns formation phenomenon in frontal polymerization.
