A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Updated to reflect a growing focus on green chemistry in the scientific community and in compliance with the American Chemical Society’s Committee on Professional Training guidelines, Carraher’s Polymer Chemistry, Eighth Edition integrates the core areas that contribute to the growth of polymer science. It supplies the basic understanding of polymers essential to the training of science, biomedical, and engineering students.

New in the Eighth Edition:

• Updating of analytical, physical, and special characterization techniques
• Increased emphasis on carbon nanotubes, tapes and glues, butyl rubber, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, poly(ethylene glycols), shear-thickening fluids, photo-chemistry and photophysics, dental materials, and aramids
• New sections on copolymers, including fluoroelastomers, nitrile rubbers, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymers, and EPDM rubber
• New units on spliceosomes, asphalt, and fly ash and aluminosilicates
• Larger focus on the molecular behavior of materials, including nano-scale behavior, nanotechnology, and nanomaterials

Continuing to provide a user-friendly approach to the world of polymeric materials, the book allows students to integrate their chemical knowledge and establish a connection between fundamental and applied chemical information. It contains all of the elements of an introductory text with synthesis, property, application, and characterization. Special sections in each chapter contain definitions, learning objectives, questions, and additional reading, with case studies woven into the text fabric. Symbols, trade names, websites, and other useful ancillaries appear in the appendices to supplement the text.

Présentation de l'éditeur

As polymer applications continue to extend beyond materials science, a growing number of students and professionals approach the subject from a variety of scientific backgrounds. Versatile and user-friendly, Seymour/Carraher's Polymer Chemistry, Seventh Edition provides a complete resource for understanding polymers.

This edition maintains the broad scope, logical organization, and in-depth coverage of its bestselling predecessors. Emphasizing the fundamental behavior of polymers in nature reflected in current technological developments, the book features new chapters on composites, fibers, and naturally occurring polymers in plants and animals. It also highlights the applications of nanoscale polymers with new sections on drug discovery and design, electronics, optical fibers, textiles, biodegradable materials, smart materials, and adhesives.

Seymour/Carraher's Polymer Chemistry, Seventh Edition fulfills the ACS-CPT advanced course requirement for students, scientists, and engineers. Each chapter includes learning summaries, self-study tips, glossaries, new sources for additional reading, and new exercises with solutions. This edition also updates and expands its listings for laboratory exercises and demonstrations, common polymer structures, nomenclature and trade names, and useful resources available on the Internet.

While solutions appear throughout the text, professors who adopt the text for coursework will be aided by a separate test-bank manual that is available for their exclusive use.
