Heterophase Network Polymers: Synthesis, Characterization, and Properties

Heterophase Network Polymers: Synthesis, Characterization, and Properties explains the theory and experimental investigations in the preparation of heterophase polymer network materials through cure reaction-induced microphase separation (CRIMPS). It describes the synthesis of a new family of block- and graft-copolymers with controlled solubility in epoxies and characterizes CRIMPS processes using novel applications of known methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance, electron spin resonance and photochemistry. The text also develops a new method for characterizing the molecular mass distribution (MMD) of linear and network polymers using thermomechanical analysis data.
