Handbook of Engineering and Specialty

This book focuses on common types of polymers belonging to the class of water soluble polymers. #xA0;It covers a wide range of applications: food, cosmetic, medical, lithography and ink jet printing, agricultural, wastewater cleaning, and oilfield. The text is arranged according to the chemical constitution of polymers and reviews the developments that have taken place in the last decade. Each chapter follows the same template. A brief introduction to the polymer type is given and previous monographs and reviews dealing with the topic are listed for quick reference. The text continues with monomers, polymerization, fabrication techniques, properties, application, as well safety issues. Following this, suppliers and commercial grades are presented. A review of the patent literature is an integral part of the text and this will be helpful for the engineer who is developing new products.#xA0; Four indices conclude the volume. An extensive tradenames index contains information that is fairly unique; the index of chemicals will be helpful to find certain applications of a particular substance; an index of acronyms and a general index conclude this section.

JOHANNES KARL FINK Ph.D. is Professor of Macromolecular Chemistry at MontanuniversitÄt, Loeben, Austria. His industry and academic career spans more than 30 years in the fields of polymers, and his research interests include characterization, flame retardancy, thermodynamics and degradation of polymers, pyrolysis, and adhesives. Professor Fink has published several books on physical chemistry and polymer science including A Concise Introduction to Additives for Thermoplastic Polymers and Handbook of Engineering and Specialty Thermoplastics: Polyolefins and Styrenics (Wiley/Scrivener-2010).
