Description
This revised and updated Second Edition of the best-selling reference/text is essential reading for students and scientists who seek a
thorough and practical introduction to the field of polymer spectroscopy. Eleven chapters cover the fundamental aspects and experimental
applications of the primary spectroscopic methods. The advantages and disadvantages of the various techniques for particular polymer
systems are also discussed. The goal of the author is not to make the reader an expert in the field, but rather to provide enough information
about the different spectroscopic methods that the reader can determine how the available techniques can be used to solve a particular
polymer problem. This Second Edition contains new and updated information on techniques in IR and NMR, as well as an all-new chapter
on Mass Spectrometry.
Audience
For students, graduate students and polymer scientists, spectroscopists, analytical chemists and chemical engineers.
