A valuable primer to help students and workers understand concepts
and relationships which are developed more fully in other
specialist texts on polymer molecular physics, Introduction to
Molecular Motion in Polymers explains how molecular movement is
determined by chemical structure, then how the motion controls the
physical and technological properties of polymer materials. It is
based upon the fact that the physical properties of polymeric
materials are very dependent on various modes of motion of the
molecules, and these in turn depend on the chemical structure. The
reader is thus introduced to the concepts of molecular movement in
polymers and the connections with causative chemical structure on
the one hand and resulting bulk physical and technological
behaviour on the other. The approach is non-mathematical, but is
molecularly based and will enable the reader to understand the
detailed chemical and rigorous mathematical discussions of more
advanced texts. The book integrates polymer chemistry with polymer
physics and polymer engineering, a fusion that is so often lacking
in polymer education.This interdisciplinary treatment is given
first to the mechanical properties of plastics and rubbers, since
these are the most important in use. Closely connected to molecular
motion, and also affecting physical behaviour, is the morphology of
a bulk material. This, too, is accommodated along with the
treatment of glasses and rubbers. Next in importance comes
electrical behaviour, and in particular dielectric or insulation
uses. The book also covers acoustic behaviour, light initiated or
photo-properties and diffusion phenomena. Throughout, emphasis is
placed on the way that time, temperature and frequency
relationships apply in a similar way to all these phenomena.
