The Elements of Polymer Science and Engineering

An Introductory Text for Engineers and Chemists

About this book

This introductory text is intended as the basis for a two or three semester course in synthetic macromolecules. It can also serve as a self-instruction guide for engineers and scientists without formal training in the subject who find themselves working with polymers. For this reason, the material covered begins with basic concepts and proceeds to current practice, where appropriate. - Serves as both a textbook and an introduction for scientists in the field - Problems accompany each chapter
