Description
About the Book
Polymer chemistry is the branch of science that focuses on the physical and chemical properties of polymers and macromolecules, exploring the various techniques and methods involved in their formation. Polymers are large molecular chains composed of repeating sub-units known as monomers. They are classified as linear polymers, branched-chain polymers, and cross-linked polymers based on their structure. Key theories that guide polymer chemistry include the Scheutjens-Fleer theory, Flory-Huggins solution theory, polymer field theory, and Hoffman nucleation theory. Examples of natural polymers include cellulose, chitin, starch, DNA, and RNA, while synthetic polymers comprises a wide range of thermosetting and thermoplastic materials, such as Bakelite, Kevlar, Teflon, polystyrene, and polyethylene. This book is compiled in such a manner that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of polymer chemistry. It explores all the important aspects of the discipline in the present day scenario. The book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.Book Synopsis
