Polymer Chemistry

A well-rounded and articulate examination of polymer properties at the molecular level, this book focuses on fundamental principles based on underlying chemical structures, polymer synthesis, characterization, and properties. It emphasizes the logical progression of concepts and provide mathematical tools as needed, and fully derived problems for advanced calculations. This book expands and reorganizes material within chapters 2-5 to better develop polymer chemistry concepts and update the remaining chapters. New examples and problems will be added throughout.
