This is a new, basic introduction to polymer science. It is both comprehensive and readable. The authors are leading educators in this field with extensive backgrounds in industrial and academic polymer research. The text starts with a description of the types of microstructures found in polymer materials. This provides an understanding of some of the key features of the various mechanisms of homopolymerization and copolymerization which are discussed in following chapters. Also discussed in these chapters are the kinetics and statistics of polymerization, with a separate chapter on the characterization of chain structure by spectroscopic methods. The next part of the text deals with chain c...

This 2nd edition of Handbook of Curatives and Crosslinkers presents the mechanisms of action of these additives, methods of their use, their effects on the properties of transformed products, as well as their applications. It outlines the most-recent information on additives that convert soluble monomers, prepolymers, or polymers to insoluble polymer networks commonly known as thermosetting polymers. Chapters cover the common use of curatives in many industrial products manufactured in large scale, such as adhesives, sealants, coatings, inks, explosives, propellants and foams, and in emerging products such as optoelectronics, light-emitting diodes, shape memory polymers, and more. In additio...
The ability of condensation polymers to undergo additional chemical reactions, so-called transreactions, is really fascinating. These processes lead to novel copolymers with desired composition and sequential order, allow to enhance the compatibility and to minimize molecular weight fluctuations during polycondensation and processing and to provide for chemical healing of laminates of condensation polymers. An international team of highly reputated polymer chemists and physicists discusses here, first of all, various types of transreactions, but additional condensations are also detailed in many cases. - A comprehensive book of high interest to any polymer scientist in academia and industry!
The series Advances in Polymer Science presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in polymer and biopolymer science. It covers all areas of research in polymer and biopolymer science including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics, material science. The thematic volumes are addressed to scientists, whether at universities or in industry, who wish to keep abreast of the important advances in the covered topics. Advances in Polymer Science enjoys a longstanding tradition and good reputation in its community. Each volume is dedicated to a current topic, and each review critically surveys one aspect of that topic, to place it within the context of the volume. The volumes typical...
With the global renewal of interest in PVC, this comprehensive book is well timed. Considering that PVC stabilization is the most important part of its formulation and performance, only four books have ever been published on this subject, and none since the 1980s. This book contains information on: chemical structure; PVC manufacturing technology; morphology; degradation by thermal energy and UV, gamma, and other forms of radiation; mechanodegradation; chemical degradation; analytic methods used in studying degradative and stabilization processes; stabilization; and the effect of PVC and its additives on health, safety, and environment. This is the one authoritative source on this subject.
