In Situ Spectroscopy of Monomer and Polymer Synthesis

This is a collection of selected papers presented at the symposium titled "In situ Spectroscopy of Monomer and Polymer Synthesis", held at the April 2001 ACS National Meeting in San Diego, California, USA. In situ spectroscopic monitoring is gaining popularity both in academe and industry. FTIR monitoring is used most frequently, but UV-Visible, Raman and NMR spectroscopy are also important. This book concentrates mostly on FTIR monitoring, both in the near and mid infrared range.
