Introduction to Molecular Motion in Polymers
Produktdetaljer
This book explains how molecular movement is determined by chemical structure, then how motion controls the physical and technological properties of polymer materials. Readers are introduced to the concepts of molecular movement in polymers and the connections with causative chemical structure on the one hand and resulting bulk physical and technological behavior on the other. The approach is non-mathematical, but is molecularly based and allows readers to understand the detailed chemical and rigorous mathematical discussions of more advanced texts.
