Opis

Synthetic Polymers is a comprehensive introduction to the technologies involved in the synthesis of the main classes of engineering high polymers used in such materials as plastics, fibers, rubbers, foams, adhesives and coatings. Besides the basic processes, this volume includes information on physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics - key factors with respect to obtaining the right end products. It also focuses on the main application of synthetic polymers in different engineering areas and gives data on production and consumption. Over 60 technological flowcharts are presented in a clear and concise manner, to provide the reader with essential information on relevant operations.

Recenzje

Whereas almost textbooks of polymer chemistry describe the techniques for the laboratory synthesis of polymers, this volume is devoted to the industrial methods, and herein resides its value. It is detailed and up-to-date... - Aslib Book Guide; ...the book is crisp and very readable. The information is presented with a logical structure and conveys effectively the state-of-the-art of a vast and fast developing field. I would chose this book for my foundations bookshelf - Chemistry and Industry.; ...recommended as a useful and reasonably comprehensive primer on polymer materials - Polymer International.; The book is a welcome overview of the subject. - RAPRA
