A comprehensive update on the fundamentals and recent advancements of electrical properties of polymers.
This high school textbook introduces polymer science basics, properties, and uses. It starts with a broad overview of synthetic and natural polymers and then covers synthesis and preparation, processing methods, and demonstrations and experiments. The history of polymers is discussed alongside the s
Handbook of Polymers, Third Edition represents an update on available data, including new values for many commercially available products, verification of existing data, and removal of older data where it is no longer useful.

The book includes data on all polymeric materials used by the plastics industry and branches of the chemical industry, as well as specialty polymers in the electronics, pharmaceutical, medical and space ...
Handbook of Polymers, Second Edition, presents normalized, up-to-date polymer data in a consistent and easily referenceable layout. This new edition represents an update of the available data, including new values for many commercially available products, verification of existing data, and removal of older data where it is no longer useful. The book includes data on all major polymeric materials used by the plastics industry and all branches of the chemical industry, as well as specialty polymers used in the electronics, pharmaceutical, medical, and space fields. The entire scope of the data is divided into sections to make data comparison and search easy, including synthesis, physical, mech...
This text follows a broad sequence of preparation, characterization, physical and mechanical properties and structure-property relations. Polymers: Chemistry and Physics of Modern Materials, Second Edition covers several methods of polymerization, properties, and advanced applications such as liquid crystals and polymers used in the electronics industry. Topics also include Step-Growth, Free Radical Addition, and Ionic Polymerization; Copolymerization; Polymer Stereochemistry and Characterization; Structure-Property Relationship; Polymer Liquid Crystals; and Polymers for the Electronics Industry.
Properties of Polymers: Their Correlation with Chemical Structure; Their Numerical Estimation and Prediction from Additive Group Contributions summarizes the latest developments regarding polymers, their properties in relation to chemical structure, and methods for estimating and predicting numerical properties from chemical structure. In particular, it examines polymer electrical properties, magnetic properties, and mechanical properties, as well as their crystallization and environmental behavior and failure. The rheological properties of polymer melts and polymer solutions are also considered. Organized into seven parts encompassing 27 chapters, this book begins with an overview of polyme...
"The Chemistry of Polymers is a concise, easy-to-read, inexpensive introduction to the subject and fulfils the need for a polymer text written from an applied angle. It covers the basics of polymer chemistry while emphasising the practical applications and is essential for those who wish to acquire a rapid overview of the field. This book covers the basics of polymer synthesis, characterisation, reaction kinetics and materials science, as well as important specialised topics such as polymer degradation, polymers and pollution, and a variety of technological developments. Now in its second edition, the book has been revised and expanded to reflect recent developments in the subject. There are, for example, extensive updates to the ""Special topics in polymer chemistry"" section, with an additional section on optically active polymers, expanded sections on ionic and co-ordination polymerisations, and copolymerisation, and additional examples of new environmental legislation are outlined wherever appropriate."
This book provides an update on the field of polymers derived from vegetable oils. It highlights the remarkable progress achieved in all aspects of the discipline over the last decade, ranging from direct exploitation of triglycerides to their conversion into novel monomeric species and their polymerisation (including the properties and potential applications of the ensuing materials).After a general introduction that 'sets the stage' for better understanding of the various strategies and mechanist approaches, each one of them is discussed in detail in the appropriate chapter.Rather than attempting an uncritical comprehensive coverage of the large body of recent published work, the book purp...
This book, Organic Polymers, covers aspects that are of immediate concern to a new entrant to the field of polymers. Taken as a whole, these eight chapters aim to help the readers easily assimilate other specialized and exhaustive treatises on the subject. Topics dealing with the chemistry and technology of polymers are presented in a careful and logical manner so as to provide an easy and enjoyable read. Several examples and analogies are included so to make the main concepts easy to follow and tables and figures are included so that the book can serve, to a limited extent, as a hand book dealing with polysaccharides with different parameters. This book is meant for students studying polysaccharides and those working on graft copolymers and other allied polymer industries but without a formal educational background in organic polymers.
