Publisher's Synopsis
Encyclopaedia of New Polymers for Special Applications covers important techniques for polymer synthesis and characterization, and provides a comprehensive introduction to the basic principles of highlighted techniques. Polymers play a very important role in human life. In fact, our body is made of lot of polymers, e.g. Pro- teins, enzymes, etc. Other naturally occurring polymers like wood, rubber, leather and silk are serving the humankind for many centuries now. Modern scientific tools revolutionized the processing of polymers thus available synthetic polymers like useful plastics, rubbers and fiber materials. As with other engineer- ing materials (metals and ceramics), the properties of polymers are related their constituent structural elements and their arrangement. This book introduces classification of polymers, processing and synthe- sis of polymers, followed by mechanism of deformation and mechanical behavior of polymers. Polymer Synthesis and Characterization will serve as a useful resource for industrial technicians and researchers in polymer chemistry and physics, material science, and analytical chemistry.
