ABSTRACT
Polymerization conditions and processes often differ greatly for the production of different high polymers or even in some cases the same polymers. Careful control of the operating conditions is needed in all cases to obtain high-quality products in an economical manner. The high polymers considered here are those that have high molecular weights and that find uses as plastics, elastomers (or synthetic rubbers), synthetic fibers, adhesives, and surface coatings, such as paints or varnishes.
