Macromolecular Engineering, 5 Volume Set From

Macromolecular Engineering

Complete and Thorough Resource on Macromolecular Engineering for Researchers and Industry Professionals

This book covers the entire field of macromolecular engineering, from design and preparation of well-defined macromolecules, to precise characterization, all the way to optimization for specific functions and applications. It provides background information, comparative advantages and limitations, the most recent advances of numerous synthetic approaches, characterization techniques, and potential applications.

The second edition has been completely updated and edited by a world-class team of editors led by K. Matyjaszewski. Sample topics covered within the work include:

Synthetic tools to precisely control various aspects of macromolecular structure including chain composition, microstructure, functionality, and topology
Modern characterization techniques at the molecular and macroscopic level for various properties of well-defined (co)polymers in solution, bulk and at surfaces
The correlation of molecular structure with macroscopic properties additionally affected by processing
Self-healing polymers, renewable resources, photopolymerization, click chemistry, organocatalysis, hierarchical self-assembly, nanocarbon, and ionic liquids

Polymer chemists and engineers, materials scientists, and professionals in the plastics and pharmaceutical industries will be able to use Macromolecular Engineering as a completely comprehensive reference work to understand macromolecular engineering and its many practical applications.

Krzysztof Matyjaszewski is currently J.C. Warner University Professor of Natural Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA. He is also Director of Center for Macromolecular Engineering at CMU and adjunct professor at University of Pittsburgh and at Polish Academy of Sciences. He has published over 20 books, 92 book chapters and 968 peer-review papers.

Yves Gnanou is Professor in the Physical Science and Engineering Division of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). His research interests focus on the study of the mechanism of chain polymerizations and the design of miscellaneous polymeric architectures by novel synthetic methods.

Nikolas Hadjichristidis is Professor at the Polymer Synthesis Laboratory of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). He focuses on the synthesis of well-defined polymeric materials with complex macromolecular architecture (star, comb, cyclic, dendritic) by using anionic polymerization (AP) high vacuum techniques, as well as combinations of different polymerization methodologies (AP, ATRP, TEMPO, catalytic).

Sergei Sheiko is George A. Bush, Jr. Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is particularly interested in the design and physical properties of interactive macromolecules and molecular assemblies.

Murugappan Muthukumar is Wilmer D. Barrett Professor of Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Massachusetts. His research group is engaged in understanding how macromolecules, both biological and synthetic, assume their sizes and shapes, organize into assemblies, and move around in crowded environments.
