Opis

A collection of papers by some of the foremost authorities in polymer science, this volume explores the state of the art of surface science techniques and related applications. It presents a variety of topics illustrating surface and interfacial aspects of polymer science, and provides the theoretical and technical background necessary to predict the behavior of materials.
- Covers nearly all surface analysis techniques available today
- Expands on material presented by leading experts at the third Polymer Surfaces and Interfaces conference in Durham, in 1997
