9780750692878: Characterization of Polymers

Synopsis

This is a practical guide for polymer researchers and technologists who are themselves not specialists in polymer characterization to determine what surface, interfacial and micro properties are important to their applications and the techniques most suited to the measurement of such properties. The book recommends a technique or a range of techniques to measure a specific property, complete with the pros and cons of the techniques and methods of data reduction/interpretation wherever pertinent. There are also appendices relating to accepted and novel techniques specific to polymer research.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Polymer are organic, often complex molecular compounds used as the building blocks for plastics, elastomers and various types of synthetic engineered materials. Polymer scientists and chemists are not always familiar with the characterization methods best used for polymeric materials. And knowing what characterization technology works best can make a huge difference in getting an accurate understanding of internal and surface microstructure and ultimately desired properties for the myriads of polymer applications in use today. Useful case studies help to better illustrate the common types of problems and challenges when characterizing polymers. This title features a review of basic polymer structures and synthesis routes, as well as chemical composition. It covers the characterization techniques appropriate for morphology of surfaces, interfaces and thin films. It contains a useful background on polymer surface thermodynamics, as well as adhesion properties and polymer-polymer interfaces properties and characterization techniques.
