High Performance Polymers: Their Origin and Development
According to Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe's (1740-1832) Mineralogy and Geology, "The history of science is science." A sesquicentennial later, one may state that the history of high performance polymers is the science of these important engineering polymers. Many of the inventors of these superior materials of construction have stood on the thresholds of the new and have recounted their experiences (trials, tribulations and satisfactions) in the symposium and in their chapters in this book. Those who have not accepted the historical approach in the past, should now recognize the value of the historical viewpoint for studying new developments, such as general purpose polymers and, to a greater ...
Chemical Physics and Physical Chemistry
This book concerns the latest achievements in chemical physics and physical chemistry. If we draw a straight line from physics to chemistry, the part of it that is nearer to physics is chemical physics and the part that is nearer to chemistry is physical chemistry. However, there is no pronounced boundary line between these two branches of natural science; everyone sees it in his own way. In the past 40-50 years, one more branch of natural science was shaped at the junction of physics, chemistry, and biology -- biochemical physics. Some questions of biochemical physics are discussed in this book.
Advanced Fibers and Composites
An extensive updating and revision of Galasso's High modulus fibers and composites (1969, Gordon and Breach). Introduces and outlines the field for students and researchers and encompasses the recent influx of data. Focuses primarily on high modulus continuous fibers, epoxy resin and metal and ceramic matrix composites, providing a guide to evaluating fibrous composite structure. Also covers the "natural" or eutectic composites essential in producing a controlled microstructure. Book club price, $43. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
The American Synthetic Rubber Research Program
This history of the government-funded synthetic rubber research program (1942-1956) offers a rare analysis of a cooperative research program geared to the improvement of existing products and the creation of new ones. The founders of the program believed the best way to further research in the new field was through collaboration among corporations, universities, and the federal government. Morris concludes that, in fact, the effort was ultimately a failure and that vigorous competition proves the best way to stimulate innovation. Government programs, like the rubber research program, are far better at improving existing products, the author contends, than creating wholly new ones.
Polysaccharides
Key Features: Details the source, production, structures, properties, and current and potential applications of polysaccharides. Discusses general strategies of isolation, separation and characterization of polysaccharides. Describes botanical, algal, animal, and microbial sources of polysaccharides. Demonstrates the importance of carbohydrates in new lead generation. Highlights the range of possibilities for polysaccharides to make real-world impact.
Inventing Polymer Science
It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of polymer science to life in the twentieth century. Developments in polymer chemistry and engineering have led not only to the creation of a variety of substances such as synthetic fibers, synthetic rubber, and plastic but also to discoveries about proteins, DNA, and other biological compounds that have revolutionized western medicine. For these reasons, the history of the discipline tells an important story about how both our material and intellectual worlds have come to be as they are. Yasu Furukawa explores that history by tracing the emergence of macromolecular chemistry, the true beginning of modern polymer science. It is a lively book, given human interest through its focus on the work of two of the central figures in the development of macromolecular chemistry, Hermann Staudinger and Wallace Carothers. In Inventing Polymer Science, Furukawa examines the origins and development of the scientific work of Staudinger and Carothers, illuminates their different styles in research and professional activities, and contrasts the peculiar institutional and social milieux in which they pursued their goals.
Industrial Polysaccharides
This book highlights recent developments in polysaccharides spurred by advances in biotechnology. Experts in the field describe the new biomass polysaccharides and their medicinal, food and industrial applications.
