No minimum orderDescription
This introductory text is intended as the basis for a two or three semester course in synthetic macromolecules. It can also serve as a self-instruction guide for engineers and scientists without formal training in the subject who find themselves working with polymers. For this reason, the material covered begins with basic concepts and proceeds to current practice, where appropriate.
Key Features
- Serves as both a textbook and an introduction for scientists in the field
- Problems accompany each chapter
Readership
Advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in synthetic macromolecules, as well as engineers and scientists without formal training in the subject of polymers.
