Elements Of Polymer Chemistry

Polymer Chemistry deals with the study of artificial polymers and their interactions with other substances. Subjects of study include polymerizations (the process by which these Large molecules are formed), the behavior of unstable compounds and the manufacture of polymer materials. Polymers include a wide range of materials, such as plastic and nylon. Natural polymers include such things as tar and shellac, tortoise shell and horns, as well as tree saps that produce amber and latex. This book presents a comprehensive, up-to-date review of the current state of polymer chemistry and emerging areas of growth. This book is written for students pursuing undergraduate studies in Chemical Engineering or post graduate studies in Chemistry, for understanding the basics of Polymer Chemistry. It is written with a progressive logic, which means that terms and concepts are defined when they are first introduced. This book will be highly informative to students, teachers, researchers, chemists, materials scientists and all those concerned with polymer chemistry.
