Thoroughly updated, Introduction to Polymers, Third Edition
presents the science underpinning the synthesis, characterization
and properties of polymers. The material has been completely
reorganized and expanded to include important new topics and
provide a coherent platform for teaching and learning the
fundamental aspects of contemporary polymer science. New to the
Third EditionPart IThis first part covers newer developments in
polymer synthesis, includingliving radical polymerization,
catalytic chain transfer and free-radical ring-opening
polymerization, along with strategies for the synthesis of
conducting polymers, dendrimers, hyperbranched polymers and block
copolymers. Polymerization mechanisms have been made more explicit
by showing electron movements. Part IIIn this part, the authors
have added new topics on diffusion, solution behaviour of
polyelectrolytes and field-flow fractionation methods. They also
greatly expand coverage of spectroscopy, including UV visible,
Raman, infrared, NMR and mass spectroscopy. In addition, the Flory
Huggins theory for polymer solutions and their phase separation is
treated more rigorously. Part IIIA completely new, major topic in
this section is multicomponent polymer systems. The book also
incorporates new material on macromolecular dynamics and reptation,
liquid crystalline polymers and thermal analysis. Many of the
diagrams and micrographs have been updated to more clearly
highlight features of polymer morphology. Part IVThe last part of
the book contains major new sections on polymer composites, such as
nanocomposites, and electrical properties of polymers. Other new
topics include effects of chain entanglements, swelling of
elastomers, polymer fibres, impact behaviour and ductile fracture.
Coverage of rubber-toughening of brittle plastics has also been
revised and expanded.
