– Discusses polymer fabrication techniques and testing.
: Addresses thermodynamics of solutions, morphology, glass transitions, and polymer crystallinity. Specialized Topics
: Detailed coverage of step-growth , free-radical , and ionic polymerizations . A notable addition in this edition is the expanded exploration of inorganic elements in polymers , such as siloxanes and phosphazenes, which broadens the scope beyond traditional organic plastics.
: Detailed exploration of polymer preparation, including chain-growth and step-growth polymerizations, and how these routes influence molecular structure. Physical Characterization
: Academic perspectives on its teaching value can be found on Wiley Online Library
