Supplies engineers and technologists with quantitative approaches to preparing liquid oligomeric compositions and choosing proper operating conditions for processing them into materials or articles. Synthesizing recent theoretical and experimental studies, Mezhikovskii (chemical physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow) makes recommendations on the practical use of existing physico-chemical patterns, and concludes by looking at the physico-chemical aspects of processing, including analyzing the effect of composition ingredients on the final properties of materials.
