Short description
Chemistry and Physical Chemistry of Polymers covers a wide spectrum of modern polymer science, with special emphasis on synthesis and physical properties. Among the topics discussed are: the structure of polymers, thermodynamics, conformation, morphology, measurements of molar masses, polymerization mechanisms, reactions of polymers, block and graft polymers, complex topologies, as well as mechanical properties, rheology, fabrication, molding, fibers, films, and various classes of industrially important polymers.
