A propos de cet article

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Like so many of its kind, this textbook originated from the requirements of teaching. While lecturing on macromolecular science as a required subject for chemists and materials scientists on the undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Zurich (1960-1971), I needed a one-volume textbook which treated the whole field of macromolecular science, from its chemistry and physics to its applications, in a not too elementary manner. This textbook thus intends to bridge the gap between the often oversimplified introductory books and the highly specialized texts and monographs that cover only parts of macromolecular science. This first English edition is based on the third German edition (1975), which is about 40% different from the first German edition (1971), a result of rapid progress in macromolecular science and the less rapid education of the writer. This text intends to survey the whole field of macromolecular science. Its organization results from the following considerations. The chemical structure of macromolecular compounds should be independent of the method of synthesis, at least in the ideal case. Part I is thus concerned with the chemical and physical structure of macro molecules. Properties depend on structure. Solution properties are thus discussed in Part II, solid state properties in Part III. There are other reasons for discussing properties before syntheses: For example, it is difficult to under stand equilibrium polymerization without knowledge of solution thermody of the glass temperature, etc.

Synopsis

Like so many of its kind, this textbook originated from the requirements of teaching. While lecturing on macromolecular science as a required subject for chemists and materials scientists on the undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Zurich (1960-1971), I needed a one-volume textbook which treated the whole field of macromolecular science, from its chemistry and physics to its applications, in a not too elementary manner. This textbook thus intends to bridge the gap between the often oversimplified introductory books and the highly specialized texts and monographs that cover only parts of macromolecular science. This first English edition is based on the third German edition (1975), which is about 40% different from the first German edition (1971), a result of rapid progress in macromolecular science and the less rapid education of the writer. This text intends to survey the whole field of macromolecular science. Its organization results from the following considerations. The chemical structure of macromolecular compounds should be independent of the method of synthesis, at least in the ideal case. Part I is thus concerned with the chemical and physical structure of macro- molecules. Properties depend on structure. Solution properties are thus discussed in Part II, solid state properties in Part III. There are other reasons for discussing properties before syntheses: For example, it is difficult to under- stand equilibrium polymerization without knowledge of solution thermody- of the glass temperature, etc.

Revue de presse

There is nothing like colleagues′ comments to recommend a book:

′The books by Hans–Georg Elias have in the meantime become a brand for quality when it comes to macromolecular chemistry – and this not only because of the competent approach but also because of their high relevance to practice. The books are a must for every lab, even for those only marginally occupied with polymers! Kleben + Dichten Adhäsion

′Polymer Scientists – starting with PhD students – in academia and R&D will profit from the wealth of information on chemical structures and syntheses of polymers. This handbook should be present in every library of polymer institutes. May its frequent use compensate for the enormous effort of both author and publisher!′ Journal für Praktische Chemie

′THE ′Elias′ is a classic for macromolecular chemistry – seen both as demanding textbook as well as recommended for deepening knowledge. At this point please allow the question: Why is this work published in German? In summary: The present work is not always easy to read but a profound source of wisdom.′ Angewandte

′The work is seen as source of solid and sound knowledge which will not be easily replaceable through any other, similar publication.′ Wissenschaftliche Nachrichten

′The work captivates through its precise (handbook–like) presentation of details. On the other hand, the author presents the subject in the context as in good textbooks. One can only congratulate the author for having provided this comprehensive presentation of macromolecular chemistry.′ Starch/Stärke

′.. a work those involved in macromolecular science cannot do without.′ Arzneimittel–Forschung/ Drug Research

′The reader will find a brilliant introduction to the physics of polymers – indispensable basics for well versed handling of polymers.′ Nahrung/ Food

′The fact that this legendary series on macromolecules is being published in its sixth edition speaks for itself.′ KU – Kunststoffe
