Hardcover

ISBN 10: 0470843357 ISBN 13: 9780470843352

Publisher: Wiley, 2004

This book focuses on recent advances in research on block copolymers, covering chemistry (synthesis), physics (phase behaviors, rheology, modeling), and applications (melts and solutions). Written by a team of internationally respected scientists from industry and academia, this text compiles and reviews the expanse of research that has taken place over the last five years into one accessible resource. Ian Hamley is the world-leading scientist in the field of block copolymer research. The book presents the recent advances in the area, covering chemistry, physics and applications. It provides a broad coverage from synthesis to fundamental physics through to applications. It examines the potential of block copolymers in nanotechnology as self-assembling soft materials.

Review:

"The book is highly recommendable for graduate students and researchers in polymer science." (TPE Magazine, March 2010)

"This book would be ideal for any polymerist working in the field. It would also serve as a graduate level text on the subject." (Materials & Manufacturing Processes, June/July 2006)

"This book appears to be a useful and timely treatise discussing recent developments." (Polymer News)

"This volume aims to bring together significant recent advances on this topic...." (Apollit, 2005)

From the Back Cover:

Block copolymers are useful in many applications where a number of different polymers are connected together to yield a material with hybrid properties. These materials are used for example as melt processable plastics, detergents in solution, compatibilizers and adhesives. This volume aims to bring together significant recent advances on this topic, such as developments in computer modelling, thin film morphology characterization, nanoscience and technology applications. In addition, it covers new polymerization methods that have been introduced leading to the emergence of novel products and applications.

The book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in polymer science as well as industrial scientists involved in the polymer, coatings and microelectronics industries.
