This authoritative, widely cited book has been used all over the world. Properties of Polymers, Fourth Edition incorporates the latest developments in the field while maintaining the core objectives of previous editions: to correlate properties with chemical structure and to describe methods that permit the estimation and prediction of numerical properties from chemical structure, i.e. nearly all properties of the solid, liquid, and dissolved states of polymers. - Extends coverage of critical topics such as electrical and magnetic properties, rheological properties of polymer melts, and environmental behavior and failure - Discusses liquid crystalline polymers across chapters 6, 15, and 16 for greater breadth and depth of coverage - Increases the number of supporting illustrations from approximately 250 (in the previous edition) to more than 400 to further aid in visual understanding
Accompanying DVD-ROM contains ... "all chapters of the Springer Handbook."--Page 3 of cover.

Manufactured foodstuffs typically exist in the form of complex, multi-phase, multi-component, colloidal systems. One way to try to make sense of their chemical and structural complexity is to study simple model systems in which the nature and properties of the polymer molecules and dispersed particles are relatively well known. This volume consists of a collection of papers delivered at a conference on food colloids, the main theme of which was the role of food macromolecules in determining the stability, structure, texture and rheology of food colloids, with particular reference to gelling behaviour and interactions between macromolecules and interfaces. A feature of the collection is the wide range of physico-chemical techniques now being used to address problems in this field.
Het is 16 november 1942. Pieter Kapenga (1898-1982), hoofdagent in Kampen, wordt bij zijn korpschef geroepen voor een ‘opdracht die zo onopvallend mogelijk moet worden uitgevoerd’. Het gaat om de deportatie van zijn Joodse stadsgenoten naar Westerbork. Kapenga weigert en komt terecht in Kamp Vught en daarna in Dachau. Kapenga overleeft, maar hij spreekt er nooit meer over. Dit tot verdriet van zijn kleinzoon, de historicus en oud-Trouw-journalist Peter Sierksma. Nu, bijna tachtig jaar later, probeert Sierksma alsnog de religieuze en politieke achtergronden van zijn grootvaders weigering te achterhalen. "Op meeslepende wijze vertelt Peter Sierksma het verhaal van zijn grootvader, die als politieman weigerde om Joodse medeburgers te arresteren. Het laat de lezer kennismaken met de morele dilemma’s waar ambtenaren tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog voor stonden." - Hinke Piersma, NIOD
The Wiley Polymer Networks Group Review Series Volume 2 Synthetic versus Biological Networks Edited by B. T. Stokke and A. Elgsaeter The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway This, the second volume in the series, presents articles from the 14th Polymer Networks Group conference which took place in Norway in July 1998 The focus of the conference was 'Synthetic versus Biological Networks' with papers highlighting the different ideas emerging from investigations into synthetic polymer networks as opposed to, and in comparison with, polymer networks of biological origins. The papers published in this volume have been divided into six sections: Network Formation Network Characterization Polymer Networks and Precursor Architectures Biopolymer Networks and Gels Biomedical Applications of Polymer Networks Polymer Networks in Restricted Geometries
Contents of this doctoral dissertation include: primary polymer molecules with a mondisperse distribution of the molecular weights, crosslinks of any functionality, primary polymer molecules with a disperse distribution of the molecular weights, the sol fraction, number and weight average degrees of polymerization, Schulz-Zimm distribution, fractions of ideal networks and dangling ends, molar masses between the crosslinks
Trans(in)fusion is a highly original book that tries to radicalize our ways of ‘critical thinking’ across disciplines. The book, refreshingly, brings into play critical philosophy, literary criticism, studies in mathematics, physics, chemistry and developmental biology, and various other disciplines and epistemes to set up a tenure and tenor of ‘critical thinking’. The book is an exclusive intervention in how thinking across traditions and systems of thought can generate distinct interpretive experiences. It questions, in a unique transcultural and transversal bind, our ways of hermeneutic and literary-cultural thinking. Trans(in)fusion resets the dialectics between text and theory.
