This book reports on new methodologies and important applications in the field of nanopolymers as well as includes the latest coverage of chemical databases and the development of new computational methods and efficient algorithms for chemical software and chemical engineering. The book provides an overview of the field, explains the basic underlying theory, and gives numerous comparisons of different methods. The new topics covered in this book will be an excellent resource for industries and academic researchers as well.

This book presents the analysis of up-to-date techniques used for the determination of acid-base properties in view of their applicability to examination of solid organic and inorganic surfaces. The studies have been carried out by the authors since 1993, showing experimental data on surface properties of more than 150 polymers, such as carbocatenary and heterochain polymers, copolymers and their blends, as well as different epoxy and rubber compositions used in adhesive joints. The adhesive ability of metal-polymer systems based on epoxy compositions, polyolefins, and rubbers was studied...
