Jetzt erscheint die "Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology" in der 3. Auflage. Da die 2. Auflage bereits zwischen 1985 und 1990 erschienen ist, wurde der Inhalt der 3. Auflage umfassend aktualisiert, um allen wichtigen Erkenntnissen des 21. Jahrhunderts Rechnung zu tragen. In dieser 3. Auflage finden Sie Informationen zu topaktuellen Themen, wie z.B. zur Nanotechnologie, zu AFM, MALDI, zur Biomimetik und zu genetischen Verfahren, die seit 1990 ständig an Bedeutung gewonnen haben sowie auch neueste Informationen zu traditionellen Themen. Während bei der 1. und 2. Auflage die Bänder nacheinander herausgegeben wurde, wird diese 3. Auflage in drei Teilen mit jeweils 4 Bänden erscheinen. Die komplette Titelliste von Teil 1 der 3. Auflage kann unter www.mrw.interscience.wiley.com/epst eingesehen werden, indem man auf "What's New" klickt. Besuchen Sie diese Website gern öfter, denn regelmäßig werden neue Artikel hinzugefügt. Wenn Sie das 12-bändige Set (0-471-27507-7) jetzt bestellen, bekommen Sie nicht nur den besten Preis, sondern erhalten jeden der 4 Bände umfassenden Teile, sobald sie erscheinen.

This completely new "Third Edition" of the "Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology" brings the state-of-the-art to the twenty-first century, with coverage of nanotechnology, new imaging and analytical techniques, new methods of controlled polymer architecture, biomimetics, and more. Whereas earlier editions published one volume at a time, the "Third Edition" is being published in three parts of four volumes each. Each of these four-volume parts is an AZ selection of the latest in polymer science and technology as published in the updated online edition of the "Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology."

This edition will publish in 3 Parts of 4 volumes each. Each Part will be an A-Z selection of the newest articles available in the online edition of this encyclopedia. A list of the titles to appear in Part I can be viewed by clicking What's New at www.mrw.interscience.wiley.com/epst. Titles for Parts II and III will appear there as well when available.
