Physical Properties Of Polymers

Physical Properties of Polymers

Completely revised and updated! Expanded to include the latest developments in these fast-moving areas: rubber elasticity; the glassy state and the glass transition; viscoelasticity and flow in polymer melts and concentrated solutions; the crystalline state; and spectroscopic characterization of polymers. Two new chapters cover the mesomorphic state and scattering techniques. Presents fundamental background information, recent developments and unsolved problems. Provides an introduction to basic concepts and detailed descriptions of current topics of importance. The definitive source of basic information needed by polymer physical chemists, polymer physicists, polymer engineers, and all scientists whose work involves polymers.

Physical Properties of Polymers Handbook

This book offers concise information on the properties of polymeric materials, particularly those most relevant to physical chemistry and chemical physics. Extensive updates and revisions to each chapter include eleven new chapters on novel polymeric structures, reinforcing phases in polymers, and experiments on single polymer chains. The study of complex materials is highly interdisciplinary, and new findings are scattered among a large selection of scientific and engineering journals. This book brings together data from experts in the different disciplines contributing to the rapidly growing area of polymers and complex materials.
