From the reviews:

„An excellent starting point for readers planning to enter the rapidly progressing and growing field of surface-initiated polymerization (SIP) as well as for experts ... . Each contribution provides a reasonably current and thorough treatment of one or more aspects of the field ... . Several of the contributions do an exemplary job of teaching the reader ... . I recommend this ... highly as a resource for current practitioners and those readers just beginning careers in this field, my own students included.“ (Scott M. Husson, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 128 (42), 2006)

„Hailed by experts and practitioners all over the world as an excellent starting point for readers planning to enter the rapidly progressing and growing field of surface-initiated polymerization (SIP) as well as for experts … . A well-written, sensibly structured and well referenced set … representing a serious attempt to make a state-of-the-art overview of surface-initiated polymerization possible. … Nearly 1000 bibliographic references will assist readers to identify resources for continued, in-depth study. … should become a staple of every library claming to cover SIP.“ (Current Engineering Practice, 2007)
