Chapter VII high polymeric materials

A subject of this size must necessarily undergo rather severe selection to reach proportions suitable for this digest. Compared with last year´s chapter, a broader coverage of sources is attempted, with a somewhat narrower coverage of subject matter. Articles included either discuss electrical properties and effects or deal with uses of polymers in electrical manufacturing. Effects of ionizing radiation on polymers and in polymerization are also covered. Subdivision of subject matter is based primarily upon uses, properties, and methods rather than polymer structure.
