This book introduces the techniques used for the analysis of polymers. It covers the main aspects of polymer science and technology; identification, polymerization, molecular weight, structure, surface properties, degradation and mechanical properties. * Clear explanations of each analytical technique * Describes the application of techniques to the study of polymers * Encourages learning through numerous self-assessment questions and answers * Structured for flexible learning
About the Author
Barbara H. Stuart is the author of Polymer Analysis, published by Wiley.
Features
First low-level, distance-learning book to be written in this area.
Distance-learning structure with clear summaries of each analytical technique and extensive use of self-assessment questions and problems to aid student understanding.
Assumes no previous knowledge of polymers.
Book focuses on the properties of polymers, not spectroscopic techniques - therefore, more accessible.
Provides comprehensive coverage of a range of techniques used to study polymeric materials.
