Leo Mandelkern

Opis

This new edition of Volume 2 of Leo Mandelkern's self-contained work is an up-to-date, authoritative account of the kinetics and mechanisms of polymer crystallization. Progressing from the equilibrium concepts presented in volume 1, it provides a comprehensive treatment of the surrounding theories and experimental results from simple to complex polymer systems. The volume will be an invaluable reference work for all chemists, physicists and materials scientists working in the area of polymer crystallization.

Recenzje

'The most impressive feature of this second volume of Mandelkern's is … the huge amount of experimental material which is systematically analyzed. … the reader will find a great part of the systems which have been studied so far and valuable references to original work.' ChemPhysChem
