Synopsis

This laboratory manual covers important techniques for polymer synthesis and characterization, and provides newcomers with a comprehensive introduction to the basic principles of highlighted techniques. The reader will benefit from the clear writing style and straightforward approach to fairly complex ideas. The book also provides references that the more advanced reader can use to obtain in-depth explanations of techniques. Polymer Synthesis and Characterization will serve as a useful resource for industrial technicians and researchers in polymer chemistry and physics, material science, and analytical chemistry.

About this title

About the Authors

Dr. Stanley R. Sandler won the R&D 100 Award offered by the industry in 1990 for a significant commercial process to prepare an important organic intermediate. In addition to this honor, he has over 100 publications involving patents, books, an encyclopedia article, several journal articles, and he is currently a referee for several journals. Sandler received his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Penn State University.

Wolf Karo was a winner of the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. He holds a number of patents, and has been active in developing applications of monodispersed microspheres in diagnostic testing and other areas of biotechnology. Karo received his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Cornell University.

From the Back Cover

This laboratory manual provides a comprehensive introduction to an array of important techniques for polymer synthesis and characterization. The experiments are designed to be completed in one laboratory period using limited quantities of materials to reduce the costs and disposal problems, and were reviewed for classroom use at Polytechnic University. Students will benefit from the clear writing style and straightforward approach to concepts and procedures, while more advanced readers will appreciate the emphasis on fundamental principles and references to more in-depth explanations of the techniques. Polymer Synthesis and Characterization will serve as a unified laboratory manual for university courses as well as professional training courses in polymer science.
