Practical Polymer Chemistry. A Laboratory Manual

This manual has been designed specifically for Erasmus students enrolled in the Department of Polymer Chemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry and Geosciences, Vilnius University. This laboratory manual provides 13 laboratory works of the classical and modern synthesis and modification of polymers, as well as polymer characterization experiments and techniques widely used by laboratory and industrial chemists. This laboratory manual assumes that the student is already familiar with organic chemistry and has taken a course in polymer chemistry, where the mechanisms of the various polymer reactions are covered in more detail. Otherwise, the given short introductions in each laboratory work with basic information and links to resources should be useful for further study.
