Synopsis

As the use and applications of polymers increase, so does the interactions of polymer surfaces with other materials. This updated paperback edition of this well-received, popular book presents a comprehensive approach to all aspects of polymer surfaces, from fundamental theory through applications, making it essential reading for everyone studying or working with polymers.

From the Reviews of the Cloth Edition:

"...both informative and a pleasure to read...the favorable reaction derives from the volume's organization and presentation of its material to ensure maximum utility."
―Polymer News

Divided into four comprehensive sections: physical principles of polymer surfaces, characterization, modifications of properties, and applications.

Includes the most recent patent information.

From the Back Cover

This is a revised and updated edition of the highly popular Polymer Surfaces first published in 1994. The authors have revised and updated the content and added recent references. Polymer Surfaces: From Physics to Technology is divided into four main sections.

• The origins and physical principles governing the properties of polymer surfaces
• Characterization techniques - spectroscopic, surface energetic and contact angle
• The modification of polymer surface properties
• Applications - wettability, adhesion, biocompatibility

Final year students and postgraduate students of polymer science and technology will find this extremely valuable, especially in the more accessible paperback format.
