Among the materials found in Nature’s many diverse living organisms or produced by human industry, those made from polymers are dominant. In Nature, they are not only dominant, but they are, as well, uniquely necessary to life. Conformations: Connecting the Chemical Structures and Material Behaviors of Polymers explores how the detailed chemical structures of polymers can be characterized, how their microstructural-dependent conformational preferences can be evaluated, and how these conformational preferences can be connected to the behaviors and properties of their materials.
The authors examine the connections between the microstructures of polymers and the rich variety of physical properties they evidence. Detailed polymer architectures, including the molecular bonding and geometries of backbone and side-chain groups, monomer stereo- and regiosequences, comonomer sequences, and branching, are explicitly considered in the analysis of the conformational characteristics of polymers.
This valuable reference provides practicing materials engineers as well as polymer and materials science students a means of understanding the differences in behaviors and properties of materials made from chemically distinct polymers. This knowledge can assist the reader design polymers with chemical structures that lead to their desired material behaviors and properties.

About the Author
Alan Tonelli, born in Chicago in 1942,
received a BS in Chemical Engineering
from the University of Kansas, in 1964 and
a PhD in Polymer Chemistry from Stanford
in 1968, where he was associated with the
late “Father of Polymer Science” and
Nobelist Professor Paul J. Flory. He was a
member of the Polymer Chemistry Research
Department at AT&T-BELL Laboratories,
Murray Hill, NJ for 23 years. In 1991, he
joined the Textile Engineering, Chemistry, & Science Department and the
Fiber & Polymer Science Program in the College of Textiles at North
Carolina State University in Raleigh, where he is currently the
INVISTA Prof. of Fiber & Polymer Chemistry. Professor Tonelli’s research
interests include the conformations, configurations, and structures of synthetic
and biological polymers, their determination by NMR, and establishing
their effects on the physical properties of polymer materials. More
recently, the formation, study, and use of inclusion complexes formed with
polymers and small molecule guests, such as urea and cyclodextrins, to
nanostructure and safely deliver biologically active molecules to polymer
materials have been the focus of his research.
Jialong Shen, born in Hangzhou, China, in
1987, received a PhD in Fiber and Polymer
Science from North Carolina State
University, North Carolina, United States,
in 2017. His research interests include the
molecular basis of polymer glass transitions,
host-guest supramolecular chemistry, and
the applications of bio-macromolecules
such as carbohydrate polymers and enzymes.
He is currently a postdoctoral research
scholar in the Textile Engineering, Chemistry, & Science Department at
North Carolina State University.

Terms of sale
Returns accepted if you are not satisfied with the Service or Book.
Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Majestic Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
