Written by well-established professors in the field, Polymer Chemistry, Second Edition examines polymer properties at the molecular level. It focuses on chemical structures, polymer synthesis, characterization, and properties. This edition integrates theories and experiments made possible by recent advances in instrumentation. It includes new chapters on controlled polymerization and chain conformations and updated material on properties such as synthesis, viscoelasticity, solution properties, and thermodynamics. Mathematical tools, fully derived problems, and carefully organized content can be scaled to meet the needs of introductory as well as more advanced courses in chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering.
