It focuses on
fundamental principles based on underlying chemical structures, polymer
synthesis, characterization, and properties. Consistent with the previous
edition, the authors emphasize the logical progression of concepts, rather than
presenting just a catalog of facts. The book covers topics that appear
prominently in current polymer science journals. It also provides mathematical
tools as needed, and fully derived problems for advanced calculations. This new
edition integrates new theories and experiments made possible by advances in
instrumentation. It adds new chapters on controlled polymerization and chain
conformations while expanding and updating material on topics such as catalysis
and synthesis, viscoelasticity, rubber elasticity, glass transition,
crystallization, solution properties, thermodynamics, and light scattering.
Polymer Chemistry, Second Edition offers a logical presentation of topics that
can be scaled to meet the needs of introductory as well as more advanced
courses in chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering.
