Crystallisable polymers represent a large share of the polymers
used for manufacturing a wide variety of objects, and consequently
have received continuous attention from scientists these past 60
years.
Molecular compounds from crystallisable polymers, particularly from
synthetic polymers, are receiving growing interest due to their
potential application in the making of new materials such as
multiporous membranes capable of capturing large particles as well
as small pollutant molecules. The present book gives a detailed
description of these promising systems.
The first chapter is devoted to the presentation of important
investigational techniques and some theoretical approaches. The
second chapter is devoted to biopolymers, the first polymers known
to produce molecular compounds, chiefly with water. The third
chapter deals with synthetic polymers where compound formation is
either due to hydrogen-bonding or to electrostatic interactions.
The fourth chapter describes intercalates and clathrates systems
for which compound formation is mainly due to a molecular
recognition process.
- First book on the subject
- Gives a short but exhaustive description of investigational
tools
- Covers both biopolymers and synthetic polymers
- Uses temperature-concentration phase diagrams abundantly for
describing the systems
- Describes systems from the nano to the microscopic level,
including mechanical properties
