Entirely rewritten, this multi-volume work has been expanded to reflect the vast changes that have occurred in polymer and plastics technology over the past twenty years. After the initial volume (A to Amorphous Polymers), sixteen more volumes will be published, four in each calendar year, 1985 through 1988. A Supplement and an Index volume will be published in the first half of 1989. Each volume will contain approximately 850 pages, including about 200 tables and 3 000 literature citations. Over 100 new subjects will be introduced in the new edition. Coverage will include natural and synthetic polymers, plastics, fibers, elastomers, computer topics and processing. There is a 50% increase in pages devoted to engineering and processing, including CAD/CAM, Robotics and Composites. All computer topics in the second edition are totally new. Volume 10 of Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering carries a dedication and photograph of Paul John Flory as well as a listing of citations of his 364 published works.
