About this title

Synopsis

In twenty-nine chapters by leading authorities, Structure and Properties of Glassy Polymers provides readers with comprehensive coverage of basic and applied research on glass polymers as well as a wealth of information on current topics such as molecular modelling, characterization, polymer glasses in confined spaces, and conducting glass polymers. The characterization techniques presented include temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry, dielectric loss spectroscopy, photochemical hole burning, positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, and transient current generation.

Review

"Structure and Properties of Glassy Polymers was developed from papers presented at a symposium sponsored by the Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering . . . Covering diverse topics ranging from ionic transport in polymer glasses to glass formation of spatially confined molecules,
say the editors in the book's preface, the symposium evoked discussions using the principles of glassy polymer physics to interpret new or recent data on physical, mechanical, electrical, and transport properties. Application of recent and developing mechanistic models (in place of phenomenological
models) to such newly emerging data, they say, showed promise for developing unified interpretations of glassy behavior. . . . Following the layout of the symposium, the book presents a variety of topics/chapters on the structure and properties of glassy polymers, organized into five sections . . .
It also includes an introductory chapter by the editors."--Plastics Engineering
"This collection of 29 contributions, developed from an April 1997 symposium held in San Francisco, anticipates that by understanding the underlying physics of polymeric glasses, scientists and engineers will be able to develop the ability to tailor the structure and state of the polymer glass to
achieve the properties desired for specific applications. The volume is organized into five sections: physics of glassy polymers, molecular mobility and relaxations in the glassy state, physical aging, mechanical properties, and transport properties. Topics include the use of configurational entropy
to derive kinetic properties; dielectric spectroscopy of bisphenol-Apolycarbonate and some of its blends; transitions, properties, and molecular mobility during cure of thermosetting resins; and vacancy spectroscopy of polymers using positronium."--SciTech Book News
"This volume in the ACS Symposium Series contains papers that describe a variety of scientific issues associated with glassy polymers, including the application of physics and more mechanistic models for interpreting their behavior. An introductory chapter by the editors provides an overview of the
book, which is organized into five sections: Physics of Glassy Polymers, Molecular Mobility and Relaxations in the Glassy State, Physical Aging, Mechanical Properties, and Transport Properties."--Journal of the American Chemical Society
"THe book is quite comprehenxive and deals with various aspects of glassy polymers. . . .The strength of this book is the up to date information on wide range of topics related to glassy polymers in one place. Henice, this is very useful source book for researchers as a document of the state of the
knowledge." -- Polymer News
