Polymer Science and Technology

About this book

Appropriate for upper level undergraduate and graduate level courses in Chemical Engineering Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering. It is also useful as a reference for Engineers and Chemists working in the synthetic plastics and chemical process industries. This book presents a comprehensive up-to-date review of the current state of polymer science and technology and emerging areas of growth. In addition to synthetic polymer chemistry the book also covers the properties of polymers in solutions and in the melt rubber and solid states surveying all important categories of plastics. It includes detailed coverage of both polymer processing principles and the latest polymer applications in a wide range of industries--including medicine biotechnology chemicals and electronics.
