No other marks or stamps and text pages are flawless. This book was developed from a symposim sponsored by the American Chemical Engineers at their Annual Meeting in Chicago November 11-16, 1990. Polyelectrolyte gels are the bases for multibillion dollar businesses that affect all our lives: personal care products such as diapers, feminine care products, and incontinence products; industrial separations like sewage treatment, membrane processes, and protein and biological synthesis processes; and pharmaceuticals. Developing these applications of gels has required a fundamental understanding of the relationships between synthesis, characterization, and end-use performance. The development of materials, instruments, and products requires a judicious selection of chemical and physical characteristics of the gel. In addition to an understanding of polymer synthesis, a knowledge of polymer structural characterization, thermodynamics, diffusion theory, and physical chemistry is required to achieve the desired polyelectrolyte gel. This book is an overview of polymer gels with particular emphasis on the unique characteristics of polyelectrolyte gels. It provides in-depth descriptions of gel synthesis, characterization, thermodynamics, mass transport, and novel applications. Each chapter provides descriptions of current research and a review of contributions in the specific area by leading experts. Seller Inventory # 14603
