Physical Properties of Polymers james mark 

Polymer science is a large and rapidly developing branch of modern materials chemistry. This book is a thoroughly revised and up-dated third edition of a well established textbook. Written by seven of the leading figures in the polymer science community it discusses the diverse physical states and associated properties of polymers. Each author contributes a chapter which reflects his own interests and expertise. Containing numerous problem sets and worked examples this third edition will be of primary interest to graduate students and researchers studying all aspects of polymeric materials.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYMERS

The third edition of this well-known textbook discusses the diverse physical states and associated properties of polymeric materials. The contents of the book have been conveniently divided into two general parts, “Physical states of polymers” and “Some characterization techniques.” This third edition, written by seven leading figures in the polymer-science community, has been thoroughly updated and expanded. As in the second edition, all of the chapters contain general introductory material and comprehensive literature
citations designed to give newcomers to the field an appreciation of the subject and how it fits into the general context of polymer science. The third edition of Physical Properties of Polymers provides enough core material for a one-semester survey course at the advanced undergraduate or graduate
level.
Professor James E. Mark is a consultative editor for the Cambridge polymer
science list.
