Short Description
Characterization and Analysis of Polymers provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on methods used to characterize physical and chemical properties of polymers including molecular structure, molar mass and molar mass distribution, morphology, and mechanical properties. Containing carefully selected reprints from the third edition of Wiley's renowned Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, this reference features the same breadth and quality of coverage and clarity of presentation found in the original.
A valuable resource on polymer characterization and analysis for scientists and practitioners in various disciplines
Based on Wiley's renowned Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, Characterization and Analysis of Polymers provides coverage of key methods of characterization of the physical and chemical properties of polymers.Methods discussed include atomic force microscopy, chromatographic methods, laser light scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance, and thermal analysis, among others.
Written by prominent scholars from around the world, this reference presents over twenty-five self -contained articles on the most used analytical techniques currently practiced in polymer science. These techniques are grouped into three main categories based on fundamental properties:
* Composition, molar mass, and molar mass distribution
* Structure and morphology
* Molecular organization and dynamics
Characterization and Analysis of Polymers is an ideal resource for chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, process engineers, consultants, and patent attorneys, and serves as a valuable addition to libraries in industry, academia, and government.
