Abstract

Polymers gives a thorough introduction to polymer chemistry, ranging from a historical perspective, through the development of high-tonnage materials earlier in the twentieth century, to modern high-performance materials that have a range of useful additional properties. Polymers are the archetypal modern materials, used in every aspect of everyday life. Chapters cover polymers, polymer properties and characterisation, chain polymerisation, step-growth polymers, three-dimensional networks, and functional polymers. The text also includes discussion of practical industrial aspects in the technology of these materials.
