Opis

This book gathers the various aspects of the porous polymer field into one volume. It not only presents a fundamental description of the field, but also describes the state of the art for such materials and provides a glimpse into the future. Emphasizing a different aspect of the ongoing research and development in porous polymers, the book is divided into three sections: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications. The first part of each chapter presents the basic scientific and engineering principles underlying the topic, while the second part presents the state of the art results based on those principles. In this fashion, the book connects and integrates topics from seemingly disparate fields, each of which embodies different aspects inherent in the diverse field of porous polymeric materials.

Recenzje

“I strongly recommend this book and I got a lot from reading it—it is a “must have” for researchers working in this field, and for those who wish to learn more about it.” (Angewandte Chemie, 2012)

"Nevertheless, this book is certainly a very appealing and recent summary of relevant aspects on porous polymers and must consequently be regarded a must for everyone working in that area. I therefore recommend this book to chemists, physicists and materials chemists as well as to any librarian." (Materials Views ,13 April 2011)

An in–depth look at the synthesis, characterization, and application of porous polymers

Recent years have seen a great deal of innovation in the field of porous polymers, including the development of new materials, new characterization techniques, and a myriad of new applications. The time is ripe for a comprehensive book on the subject.

Porous Polymers responds to the gap in the field, combining all aspects of the science and technology in a single, cohesive volume. Bringing together expert contributions from diverse backgrounds, the book is organized into three key areas: synthesis, characterization, and applications. With topics ranging from scientific fundamentals, to the current state of the art, to emerging trends in porous polymer research, this book:

• Discusses the different chemistries involved in the synthesis of porous materials

• Examines the fundamentally different approaches to characterizing porous polymers

• Describes applications in microelectronics, biomedical devices, membrane processes, and catalysis

• Features self–contained chapters for easy reference to specific topics

• Explains the basic scientific and engineering principles underlying each chapter

• Includes nearly 250 figures to help compare and contrast different porous polymer systems

A must–have for scientists in polymer physics, polymer chemistry, polymer processing, and polymer characterization, Porous Polymers is also a highly useful reference for chemical, materials, and biomedical engineers.
