A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

The intention of this book is to introduce the reader to the wide range of analytical techniques that are available for characterizing polymeric materials. The emphasis and focus are on the properties of polymers, rather than on the various techniques employed. Although there are a number of texts which discuss polymer analysis, this is the only book currently available which includes extensive use of questions and problems to aid the reader′s understanding. The majority of books on this subject are heavily charged with theory, while Polymer Analysis, on the other hand, concentrates very much on the practical aspects.

Key features include the following:
∗ First introductory, distance learning book covering polymer analysis
∗ Clear summaries of each analytical technique and extensive use of self–assessment questions and problems to aid student understanding.
∗ Clear examples of data analysis
∗ Assumes no previous knowledge of the analytical techniques being discussed
∗ Focuses on the properties of polymers, rather than on the analytical techniques and is therefore more accessible
∗ Provides comprehensive coverage of the range of techniques used to study polymeric materials
Polymer Analysis provides a very accessible introduction to the subject for laboratory technicians and scientists working in the polymer/plastics industry. As an introductory text, it also addresses the typical questions and problems encountered by students taking courses in polymer science, including undergraduates and postgraduates reading chemistry, materials science and physics.

Biographie de l'auteur :

After graduating with a B.Sc. degree form the University of Sydney in Australia, Barbara Stuart then worked as a tutor at this university. She also carried out research in the field of biophysical chemistry in the Department of Physical Chemistry and graduated with an M.Sc. degree in 1990. The author then moved to the UK to carry out doctoral studies in polymer engineering within the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemical Technology at Imperial College (University of London). After obtaining her Ph.D. in 1993, she took up a position as a Lecturer in Physical Chemistry at the University of Greenwich in South East London. Barbara returned to Australia in 1995, joining the staff of the Department of Materials Science at the University of Technology, Sydney, where she is currently a Senior Lecturer. She is presently conducting research in the fields of polymer spectroscopy, materials conservation and forensic science. Barbara is the author of two other books published by John Wiley & S Sons, Ltd, namely Modern Infrared Spectroscopy and Biological Applications of Infrared Spectroscopy, both of these titles are in the ACOL Series of open learning texts.
