The widespread use of the first edition of Physical Properties of Polymers as a textbook encouraged the authors to expand and update this introduction to polymer science. All of the original topics have been enriched with the latest developments in these fast-moving areas. Two new topics have been added to provide comprehensive treatment. The contents have been divided into sections on physical states of polymers and characterization techniques. Chapters on physical states include discussions of the rubber elastic state, the glassy state, melts and concentrated solutions, the crystalline state, and the mesomorphic state. Characterization techniques described are molecular spectroscopy and scattering techniques. In addition to academic use, this volume offers a well-rounded source of basic information needed by polymer physical chemists, polymer physicists, polymer engineers, and all scientists whose work involves polymers.
This book offers concise information on the properties of polymeric materials, particularly those most relevant to physical chemistry and chemical physics.
This volume presents a problem in determining the physical properties of polymers and thus makes it difficult to tackle the question of the synthesis of polymers with desired properties.
Physical Properties of Polymers
For example , the pioneering research of C. G. Shull , E. O. Wollan , and B. N. Brockhouse , which led to the 1997 Nobel Prize for Physics , began with studies of materials such as iron , chromium , cobalt , and iridium , and was ...
This title's contents include: perspective polymer materials with structural inhomogeneity for the construction of new generation optical devices; the effect of various factors on damaging of polymeric materials by microorganisms; kinetics ...
This book is a valuable resource for anyone working on practical problems in the field of polymers, including organic chemists, chemical engineers, polymer processers, polymer technologists, and both graduate and PhD students.
The book provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on the physical properties of polymers including, viscoelasticity, flammability, miscibility, optical properties, surface properties and more.
But right after this comes the question: What have I made, and for what is it good? This leads to the important topic of the structure-property relations to which this book is devoted.
