Polymer Chemistry: A Practical Approach - by Margaret Morris (Hardcover)

About the Book

Polymer chemistry is the scientific discipline dedicated to the study of the synthesis, structure, and physical and chemical properties of polymers and macromolecules. The principles and methodologies of polymer chemistry are widely applicable across several other branches of chemistry, including organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and analytical chemistry. Polymers are typically categorized based on their origin into biopolymers and synthetic polymers. Biopolymers are the functional and structural components that constitute much of the organic matter in living organisms, while synthetic polymers are human-made materials found in a range of products, such as synthetic fibers, paints, construction materials, plastics, mechanical components, and adhesives. This book is compiled in such a manner that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of polymer chemistry. It unfolds the innovative aspects of the discipline which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. The book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.
