This volume contains 18 papers on the kinetics and technology of addition and condensation polymerization processes. These papers were presented at the sixth symposium on this subject held by the Division of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry and the Division of Polymer Chemistry during the A.C.S. Meeting, Boston April 9-14, 1972. They are concerned with known commercial products. New polymers and novel polymerization reactions presented at the same symposium are collected in the companion volume, Advances in Chemistry Series No. 129.

Process Technology. In commercial addition and condensation polymerization processes reactor design is an important factor for the quality and economics of the polymer. Combining macromolecular kinetics with reactor and process design has led to a new concept called reaction engineering. D. C. Chappelear and R. H. M. Simon review this novel concept in Chapter 1.
