Essentials of Polymer Science and Engineering
Description
Thisbook is at once an introduction to polymers and an imaginativeinvitation to the field of polymer science and engineering as awhole, including plastics and plastics processing. Created by two ofthe best-known scientists in America, the text explains and helpsstudents as well as professionals appreciate all major topics inpolymer chemistry and engineering: polymerization synthesis andkinetics, applications of probability theory, structure andmorphology, thermal and solution properties, mechanical properties,biological properties and plastics processing methods. Essentials ofPolymer Science and Engineering, designed to supercede many standardtexts (including the authors'), is unique in a number of ways.Special attention has been paid to explaining fundamentals andproviding high-level visuals. In addition, the text is replete withengaging profiles of polymer chemists and their discoveries. The bookexplains the science of polymer engineering, and at the same time,tells the story of the field from its beginnings to the present,indicating when and how polymer discoveries have played a role inhistory and society. The book comes well equipped with studyquestions and problems and is suitable for a one- or two-semestercourse for chemistry students at the undergraduate and graduatelevels.
