Introduction to Physical Polymer ScienceAn Updated Edition of the Classic Text Polymers constitute the basis for the plastics, rubber, adhesives, fiber, and coating industries. The Fourth Edition of Introduction to Physical Polymer Science acknowledges the industrial success of polymers and the advancements made in the field while continuing to deliver the comprehensive introduction to polymer science that made its predecessors classic texts. The Fourth Edition continues its coverage of amorphous and crystalline materials, glass transitions, rubber elasticity, and mechanical behavior, and offers updated discussions of polymer blends, composites, and interfaces, as well as such basics as molecular weight determination. Thus, interrelationships among molecular structure, morphology, and mechanical behavior of polymers continue to provide much of the value of the book. Newly introduced topics include:
In addition, new sections have been included on fire retardancy, friction and wear, optical tweezers, and more. Introduction to Physical Polymer Science, Fourth Edition provides both an essential introduction to the field as well as an entry point to the latest research and developments in polymer science and engineering, making it an indispensable text for chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, and polymer science and engineering students and professionals. |

... polyamides, known widely as the nylons. In fact there are two series of nylons. In the first series, the monomer has an amine at one end of the molecule and a carboxyl at the other. For example, O (1.14) COH nH2NCH2CH2CH2 OH+(n–1)H2O n ...
... polyamides. There are two important subseries of nylons, where amine and the carboxylic acid are on different monomer molecules (thus requiring both monomers to make the polymer) or one each on the ends of the same monomer molecule ...

... polyamide-2 (or nylon-2, old terminology). As made by plants and animals, however, the copolymers are highly ordered, and they have monodisperse molecular weights, meaning that all the chains have the same molecular weights. Cellulose ...
... polyamide 66; see Table 1.8 (20). Other breakthrough polymers have included the very high modulus aromatic polyamides, known as KevlarTM (see Section 7.4), and a host of high temperature polymers. Further items on the history of polymer ...
