9781560329398: Principles of Polymer Systems

Synopsis

The Fifth Edition of Principles of Polymer Systems has been completely revised and updated. The chemical engineering perspective has been retained and strengthened, and the broad applications of polymers in chemistry and materials science have been addressed. The theoretical basis for various topics has been deepened and strengthened and several new topics are addressed. These changes reflect the rapidly growing recognition by all scientists and engineers of the role polymers play in industry. Electronics and medicine are representative areas that require more than a passing knowledge of macromolecular principles. Both areas receive attention in this edition. The end-of-chapter problems in the book have been completely replaced with the new problems. A solutions manual will be available to qualified instructors.

À propos de l?auteur

Ferdinand Rodriguez is Professor Emeritus, Cornell University. He has been a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Cornell University for over 40 years. He also has seven years experience in the polymer industry. He received his B.S. and M.S degrees from Case Institute of Technology and his Ph.D from Cornell, all in Chemical Engineering. Claude Cohen is Professor of Chemical Engineering at Cornell University. He received his B.S. from American University in Cairo and his Ph.D from Princeton University in Chemistry. He was a Katzir-Katchalsky Fellow in the Polymers Department at the Weizmann Institute in Israel and a research associate in chemical engineering at Caltech before joining Cornell in 1977. Christopher Ober is Francis Norwood Bard Professor of Materials Engineering and Director Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University. His research insterests include the synthesis, processing and characterization of functional polymers. Of special interest are systems which undergo self-organization/assembly including liquid crystalline polymers and block copolymers. Lynden Archer is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at Cornell. He received his B.Sc in Chemical Engineering (Polymer Science) from the University of Southern California and his Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University. Prior to joining Cornell he has held positions at Texas A&M University and AT&T Bell Laboratories.
