Abstract
This concluding chapter explains how polymers provide a convenient opportunity to study industrial aspects of chemical science. Indeed, considerations of economics, availability of feedstocks, use of specialized catalytic reactions, and similar matters are found throughout the chemical industry. However, polymers provide particularly instructive examples. It is an appropriate time to review polymers since there are many new aspects and applications in prospect. This is a very wide subject to cover and readers are encouraged to investigate more specialized bibliography for areas of interest. The chapter then offers some recommendations of reference books on all aspects of polymer science and technology, including series of volumes extensively filled with data.
