Introduction to Polymers
About this book
Thoroughly updated, this long-awaited new edition of a bestselling text provides extensive, detailed, and balanced coverage of polymer chemistry and polymer physics, spanning synthesis, characterization, bulk properties and morphology, and mechanical and electrical properties of polymers. The material has been completely reorganized and expanded to offer a coherent format for teaching and learning the fundamental aspects of contemporary polymer science. This edition incorporates the most important developments that have occurred in the past two decades, including "living" radical polymerization, supramolecular polymerization, and block and graft copolymer synthesis methods.
