The Essential Handbook of Polymer Terms and Attributes
暫譯: 聚合物術語與屬性必備手冊

這本書將以簡單的方式提供聚合物科學的廣泛知識（《聚合物科學概論》），通過將聚合物術語和特性集中在一個地方，以促進研究人員和學生在與特定聚合物科學領域相關的項目中產生創意。

Munmaya Mishra, PhD, is a polymer scientist who has worked in the industry for more than 35 years. He has been engaged in research, management, technology innovations, and product development. He currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of three Taylor & Francis' renowned polymer journals. He has contributed immensely to multiple aspects of polymer applications, including encapsulation and controlled release technologies. He has authored and coauthored hundreds of scientific articles, is the author or editor of nine books, and holds over 125 U.S. patents, over 50 U.S. patent-pending applications, and over 200 world patents. He has received numerous recognitions and awards. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the 11-volume Encyclopedia of Biomedical Polymers and Polymeric Biomaterials and the Encyclopedia of Polymer Applications published by Taylor & Francis/CRC Press. He founded the International Society of Biomedical Polymers and Polymeric Biomaterials as well as a scientific meeting titled Advanced Polymers via Macromolecular Engineering, which has gained international recognition and is under the sponsorship of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

Biao Duan, PhD, is Principal Scientist at Encapsys, LLC, a subsidiary fully owned by Milliken & Company. He earned his BSc and MSc degrees in organic chemistry from Wuhan University in 1991 and 1994, respectively. Subsequently, in 1997, he received his PhD in engineering with a specialization in polymers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He has published 14 original research papers and three book chapters and has been granted 17 U.S. patents. His research endeavors revolve around the realms of functional polymers, controlled release mechanisms, and microencapsulation technologies.
