AB -  Volume 1 of the two-volume seriea is comprised of chapters contributed by scientific authorities versed in the science and technology of thin self-supported polymer films of importance to the packaging industry. The book is designed for presentation in the style of an Encyclopedia, and therefore the subject matter is generally presented in a concise and realistic appraisal of the state-of-the-art. The book covers molecular constitution, synthesis, mechanical behavior, manufacturing methods, physical property measurements, and the analysis of polymer films. The discussions covering the economic considerations, trends, requirements for effective packaging film, and procedures for establishing safety of polymers for contact with foods tries to also capture the interest of management. The portions of the book devoted to synthetic organic polymers as film formers appear to be very concise and of limited value. However, the extensive list of references in this particular section of the book does offer the reader an opportunity to become further acquainted with the synthesis of organic polymers. The chapter on inorganic polymer films does not fit the scope of this volume since the authors point out that, at the present time, inorganic polymers are unsuitable for film applications. The authors justify this chapter in
