Physical Polymer Science 4th Edition with Principles Polymerization 4th Edition Set
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Feb 2006
This “Physical Polymer Science 4th Edition with Principles of Polymerization 4th Edition Set” contains two individual volumes “Introduction to Physical Polymer Science, 4th Edition” and “Principles of Polymerization, 4th Edition”.
Introduction to Physical Polymer Science, 4th Edition
Polymers constitute the basis for the plastics, rubber, adhesives, fiber, and coating industries. The Fourth Edition of Introduction to Physical Polymer Science acknowledges the industrial success of polymers and the advancements made in the field while continuing to deliver the comprehensive introduction to polymer science that made its predecessors classic texts.
The Fourth Edition continues its coverage of amorphous and crystalline materials, glass transitions, rubber elasticity, and mechanical behavior, and offers updated discussions of polymer blends, composites, and interfaces, as well as such basics as molecular weight determination. Thus, interrelationships among molecular structure, morphology, and mechanical behavior of polymers continue to provide much of the value of the book.
Newly introduced topics include:
- Nanocomposites, including carbon nanotubes and exfoliated montmorillonite clays
- The structure, motions, and functions of DNA and proteins, as well as the interfaces of polymeric biomaterials with living organisms
- The glass transition behavior of nano-thin plastic films
- In addition, new sections have been included on fire retardancy, friction and wear, optical tweezers, and more.
Introduction to Physical Polymer Science, Fourth Edition provides both an essential introduction to the field as well as an entry point to the latest research and developments in polymer science and engineering, making it an indispensable text for chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, and polymer science and engineering students and professionals.
Principles of Polymerization, 4th Edition
The large chains of molecules known as polymers are currently used in everything from 'wash and wear' clothing to rubber tires to protective enamels and paints. Yet the practical applications of polymers are only increasing; innovations in polymer chemistry constantly bring both improved and entirely new uses for polymers onto the technological playing field. Principles of Polymerization, Fourth Edition presents the classic text on polymer synthesis, fully updated to reflect today's state of the art. New and expanded coverage in the Fourth Edition includes:
- Metallocene and post-metallocene polymerization catalysts
- Living polymerizations (radical, cationic, anionic)
- Dendrimer, hyperbranched, brush, and other polymer architectures and assemblies
- Graft and block copolymers
- High-temperature polymers
- Inorganic and organometallic polymers
- Conducting polymers
- Ring-opening polymer ization
- In vivo and in vitro polymerization
Appropriate for both novice and advanced students as well as professionals, this comprehensive yet accessible resource enables the reader to achieve an advanced, up-to-date understanding of polymer synthesis. Different methods of polymerization, reaction parameters for synthesis, molecular weight, branching and crosslinking, and the chemical and physical structure of polymers all receive ample coverage. A thorough discussion at the elementary level prefaces each topic, with a more advanced treatment following. Yet the language throughout remains straightforward and geared towards the student.
Extensively updated, Principles of Polymerization, Fourth Edition provides an excellent textbook for today's students of polymer chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science, as well as a current reference for the researcher or other practitioner working in these areas.
