Polymer Chemistry

Written by established professors, this highly recommended new edition focuses in on polymer properties at the molecular level. The authors discuss chemical structures, synthesis, characterization, and properties. This edition integrates theories and experiments made possible by instrumentation advances. It includes new chapters on controlled polymerization and chain conformations and updated material on synthesis, viscoelasticity, solution properties, and thermodynamics. Mathematical tools, fully derived problems, and well organized content can be scaled to meet the needs of introductory and advanced courses in chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering. A solutions manual is available with qualifying course adoptions
