Modification by irradiation is not included because the activity in this area is being treated elsewhere. We have chosen to emphasize chemical routes to modification and have striven to pre- sent as balanced a representation of current activity as time and page count permit. Industrial applications, both real and potential, are included. Where appropriate, we have encouraged the contributors to include review material to help provide the reader with adequate context. The initial chapter is a review from a historical perspective of polymer modification and contains an extensive bibliography. The remainder of the book is divided into four general areas: Reactions and Preparation of Copolymers Reactions and Preparation of Block and Graft Copolymers Modification Through Condensation Reactions Applications The chemical modification of homopolymers such as polyvinylchlo- ride, polyethylene, poly(chloroalkylene sulfides), polysulfones, poly- chloromethylstyrene, polyisobutylene, polysodium acrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloroformate, sulfonated polystyrene; block and graft copolymers such as poly(styrene-block-ethylene-co-butylene- block-styrene), poly(I,4-polybutadiene-block ethylene oxide), star chlorine-telechelic polyisobutylene, poly(isobutylene-co-2,3-dimethyl- 1,3-butadiene), poly(styrene-co-N-butylmethacrylate); cellulose, dex- tran and inulin, is described. A number of divergent applications are described here: modifi- cation of polymer surfaces (coatings, fibers, films and plastics); modifications leading to superior coating materials; isolation, con- centration and containment of uranium; natural materials for insula- tion; synthesis of sugar substitutes; synthesis of anti-arrhythmic drugs; fibers which can be spun from chlorinated solvents yet dry cleaned; and synthesis of calcium ion selective electrode materials. v vi PREFACE Polymer modification is a broad, rapidly expanding area of sci- ence and the enclosed chapters give glimpses of many of the more im- portant areas. The contributors include a mix of eminent industrially and academically based scientists from any countries which give the book an international flavor. We thank the authors for their valued contributions and Divisions of Organic Coatings and Plastics and Polymer Chemistry for their support. The cooperation of referees is also gratefully acknowledged. Wright State University Charles E. Carraher, Jr. Dayton, Ohio 45435 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute J. A.

Carraher, Jr.t -l'Department of Chemistry Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, New York 12181 t Department of Chemistry Wright State University Dayton, Ohio 45435 Polymers of natural or1g1n (gums, fibers, skins) have been used by man since prehistoric times. The technology of improving the useful qualities of such materials was developed empirically without benefit of the unifying conceptual framework of chemistry. The early chemical efforts which lead to the modification of rubber via isomerization with acid (1781)2 or Vulcanization with sulfur (1839)3 were also largely serendipitous discoveries. By the mid- 19th century investigators like Bracconnot (1833)4 and Schonbein (1845)5 had begun systematic efforts to apply the emerging science of organic chemistry to the task of modifying the end-use proper- ties of natural materials, or imparting wholly new properties to them. The careful study of the reaction of cellulose with nitric acid ultimately led to Parkes' production of the first semi- synthetic commercial plastic, "Parkesine" (1864)6. The chemistry of polyisoprene isolated from a variety of natural sources was also a subject of intense chemical investigation. It had been chlorinat- ed in 18597 , and was later hydrochlorinated in 18818. Weber (1894)9 recognized similarities between the Vulcanization process and the insolubi1ization of rubber by S2C12. The production of rayon by treatment of alkali-cellulose with CS2 was patented in 18921°. The preparation of practically useful cellulose acetate by partial hydrolysis of the triacetate was patented in 1903 11 , although for- mation of cellulose acetate had first been cited in 1865 12 • The first report of ethers of cellulose as made in 1905 13 .
