Short Description
The focus of this book is on the properties of polymers, not on the technique employed. This is an introductory book to the wide range of analytical techniques that are available for characterizing polymeric materials.
This book introduces the techniques used for the analysis of polymers. It covers the main aspects of polymer science and technology; identification, polymerization, molecular weight, structure, surface properties, degradation and mechanical properties.
* Clear explanations of each analytical technique
* Describes the application of techniques to the study of polymers
* Encourages learning through numerous self-assessment questions and answers
* Structured for flexible learning
