Bol Partner

Polymer Science at its best! The best of Hans-Georg Elias's best-seller 'Macromolecules' has been extracted for 'An Introduction to Polymer Science'. It is not only an introduction to the chemistry, physical chemistry, and physics of polymers that is provided, but an integrated approach. Hans-Georg Elias An Introduction to Polymer Science Polymer science at its best! A completely new approach reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of polymer science! Modern polymer science is firmly rooted not only in the chemistry of macromolecules but also in their pyhsical chemistry and physics. Furthermore, this modern insight provides the reader with information on the three most important uses of synthetic polymers: elastomers, fibers and plastics. Biopolymers are also considered. This book fulfills the need for a volume which introduces polymer science in a straightforward, rigorous, and practical way. It is divided into four parts that cover the chemistry, physical chemistry, physics and technology of polymers. Whenever possible, physical equations are not just presented but are derived step by step from first principles enabling the newcomer to ease smoothy into the subject. The reference to industrial aspects makes this book an indispensable support for both students and professionals.
