Description

Book Synopsis

Maintaining a balance between depth and breadth, the Sixth Edition of Principles of Polymer Systems continues to present an integrated approach to polymer science and engineering. A classic text in the field, the new edition offers a comprehensive exploration of polymers at a level geared toward upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students.

Revisions to the sixth edition include:

  • A more detailed discussion of crystallization kinetics, strain-induced crystallization, block copolymers, liquid crystal polymers, and gels
  • New, powerful radical polymerization methods
  • Additional polymerization process flow sheets and discussion of the polymerization of polystyrene and poly(vinyl chloride)
  • New discussions on the elongational viscosity of polymers and coarse-grained bead-spring molecular and tube models
  • Updated information on models and experimental results of rubber elasticity
  • Expanded sections on fract

    Table of Contents

    Introduction. Basic Structures of Polymers. Physical States and Transitions. Polymer Formation. Polymerization Processes. Molecular Weight of Polymers. Viscous Flow. Rheometry and Viscoelastic Fluid Flow. Mechanical Properties at Small Deformations. Ultimate Properties. Some General Properties of Polymer Systems. Degradation and Stabilization of Polymer Systems. Fabrication Processes. Fabrication Processes: Extrusion and Molding. Polymers from Renewable Resources and Recycling of Polymers. Carbon Chain Polymers. Heterochain Polymers. Analysis and Identification of Polymers. Appendices. Index.
