Elsevier academics book covers
Synthetic Polymer Chemistry provides a comprehensive, thoughtfully organized introduction to polymers and their physical properties, as well as different types of polymerization reactions. This book aims to explain the bridge between organic and polymer chemistry in an accessible manner, proving to be a helpful resource for an essential course that many students struggle to connect with. To help overcome this challenge and link the two disciplines in useful and exciting ways, this textbook emphasizes the connection between organic chemistry and polymer chemistry, and how knowledge of one can benefit the understanding of the other. This book helps students and researchers build a strong foundation of organic chemistry and polymer chemistry understanding so they can grasp the materials covered in advanced polymer chemistry. Polymer chemistry is an applied field that is present everywhere around us. As users of this book begin to perceive the importance of polymer chemistry in daily life, they are sure to be excited to explore more polymer chemistry methods that pique their interest. Synthetic Polymer Chemistry covers an array of integral topics, from the introduction of polymers and their physical properties to morphology (crystalline and amorphous phase) to molecular weights measurements and solubility. Different types of polymerization reactions (free radical, cationic, anionic condensation) based on organic reaction mechanisms are also discussed across various chapters in vivid detail. This text is ideal for courses in polymer chemistry, organic chemistry, materials science and engineering, and biomedical engineering.
