Physical Properties of Macromolecules

Explains and analyzes polymer physical chemistry research methods and experimental data
Taking a fresh approach to polymer physical chemistry, Physical Properties of Macromolecules integrates the two foundations of physical polymer science, theory and practice. It provides the tools to understand polymer science concepts and research methods, while also instructing how to analyze experimental data.
Drawing on the author′s own extensive research in physical properties of polymers as well as more traditional topics, this text offers detailed analysis of numerous problems in polymer science, including laboratory data and research results. Topics include:
Solid–state dynamics of polymeric materials
Glass transitions in amorphous polymers
Semicrystalline polymers and melting transitions
Viscoelastic behavior
Relaxation processes
Macromolecule–metal complexes
Mechanical properties of linear and crosslinked polymers
Filled with detailed graphs to help explain important quantitative trends, Physical Properties of Macromolecules teaches by example, ensuring comprehension of the subject as well as the methodology to implement theory, problem–solving techniques, and research results in practical situations. This resource serves as the ideal companion for government laboratories, industrial research scientists, engineers, and professionals in polymer science fields who are interested in fully grasping all aspects of physical polymer science.
