Since their first industrial use polymers have gained a tremendous success. The two volumes of Polymers - Opportunities and Risks elaborate on both their potentials and on the impact on the environment arising from their production and applications.

Volume 11 Polymers - Opportunities and Risks I: General and Environmental Aspects is dedicated to the basics of the engineering of polymers - always with a view to possible environmental implications. Topics include: materials, processing, designing, surfaces, the utilization phase, recycling, and depositing.

Volume 12 Polymers - Opportunities and Risks II: Sustainability, Product Design and Processing highlights raw materials and renewable polymers, sustainability, additives for manufacture and processing, melt modification, biodegradation, adhesive technologies, and solar applications.

All contributions were written by leading experts with substantial practical experience in their fields. They are an invaluable source of information not only for scientists, but also for environmental managers and decision makers.
