"This book focuses on the state-of-the-art synthesis of various sulfur-containing polymers from low-cost sulfur resources such as elemental sulfur, carbon disulfide (CS2), carbonyl sulfide (COS) and mercaptan. In-depth mechanistic understanding related to the synthesis is presented in each chapter. Importantly, various types of sulfur-containing polymers, including poly(thioester)s, poly(thioether)s and poly(thiocarbonate)s and poly(thiourethane)s with linear or hyperbranched (dendrimer) architectures have also been included. The structure-property relationship and applications of sulfur-containing polymers are also presented. This book provides the latest developments of sulfur-containing polymers in a timely manner, which will be beneficial for both fundamental research and application-oriented development in this area"--
