Ideal for graduate students  advanced undergraduates  and industrial chemists who work with polymers  it is the only current polymer textbook that discusses polymer types according to functional groups. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the chemistry of macromolecular substances  with particular emphasis on polymers that are important commercially and the properties that make them important. Major topics include polymer synthesis and nomenclature; molecular weight and molecular weight distribution; reactions of polymers; recycling of polymers; methods used for characterizing and testing polymers; morphology; stereoregular polymers; polymer blends; step-growth  chain-growth  and ring-opening polymerization; commercially important addition and condensation polymers; and heterocyclic  inorganic  and natural polymers. Review exercises  many including journal references  are provided to help lead students into the polymer literature. Polymer Chemistry  3\/e  offers the most up-to-date treatment available of new developments in this rapidly changing field. It covers dendritic and hyperbranched polymers  olefin polymerization using metallocene catalysts  living free radical polymerization  biodegradable bacterial polyesters  mass spectrometric methods for determining molecular weights of polymers  atomic force microscopy for characterizing polymer surfaces  and polymers exhibiting nonlinear optical properties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648020013109,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195124448","price":100.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195124446.jpg?v=1781706761","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/polymer-chemistry-an-introduction-9780195124446","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
