From the reviews:

"This book of the series Advances in Polymer Science ... focuses on some of the developing methods of mass spectrometry with particular application to additives (and other low molecular weight species) and polymer degradation. ... The book treats a number of important topics and is well written. ... The chapters are well referenced with regard to both extensiveness and timeliness. All in all, I would say that it is a good show; kudos to the editor and the authors." (David Hercules, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 404, 2012)
