Synopsis

The second edition of this text covers all aspects of polymer chemistry and provides a clear, up-to-date account of areas of modern technological importance. Polymer reactions, characterization, and evaluation, polymerization methods, solution methods, and polymer morphology are all explained, and the properties of polymers are discussed in terms of their chemical structure. Many applications of current interest are considered, including liquid crystal polymers, conducting polymers, hermoplastic elastomers, degradable polymers, and polymer blends. This modern account provides a sound foundation both for undergraduate and graduate students on courses in polymer chemistry, and for industrial chemists with no prior training in the field. It will also serve as a useful reference source for the practising polymer chemist.
