From the reviews: "This is the first book that is dedicated to the subject of silicon-containing dendritic polymers. ... intended readers are individuals in a variety of fields including synthetic chemistry, polymer science, materials science, silicon chemistry and nanotechnology. ... I highly recommend this excellent book to scientists in each of those respective fields. ... very useful as reading material for an advanced level postgraduate course in either Polymer Science and Engineering or in Materials Science and Engineering. It is a welcome addition to the materials chemistry literature." (Stephen J. Clarson, Silicon, Vol. 1, 2009)
