The laboratory workshop contains descriptions of works devoted to the synthesis of polymers, physicochemistry and polymer physics, as well as the main methods of their research. Each section consists of a brief theoretical introduction and a practical part, including a description of the methods of experimental work. The second edition (1st was published in 1977) is supplemented by modern data on all sections of the workshop, updated methods of most laboratory work, a number of new works. The workshop is intended for students of chemical and technological specialties of universities as a training manual for the course "Chemistry and physics of high molecular compounds" . It can also be useful for employees of research and factory laboratories dealing with the chemistry and physics of high-molecular compounds .. Release of the group.
