Polymer Science, Engineering, and Sustainability, 2 Volume Set, Gebunden

Blurb

An expert discussion of the basic science and production chain in the polymer industry

In this 2-volume set of Polymer Science, Engineering, and Sustainability: From Fundamentals to Applications in Synthesis, Characterization, and Processing, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive discussion of polymer chemistry and industrial production.

The first volume covers polymer chemistry and engineering, as well as industrial polymer production. The second volume stresses physico-chemical, mechanical and advanced characterization techniques, polymer processing principles and transformation processes, advanced applications, and sustainability and recycling principles and processes.

Each volume features useful case studies, as well as sections focused on sustainability that covers renewable and biobased polymers and polymer recycling. They also emphasize sustainable practices guided by twelve principles of green chemistry.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to polymer chemistry and industrial polymer production
• Comprehensive explorations of physico-chemical characterization techniques
• Practical discussions of mechanical and advanced characterization techniques and polymer processing principles and transformation processes
• Complete treatments of sustainability and recycling principles and processes

Perfect for polymer scientists and engineers in industry, Polymer Science, Engineering, and Sustainability, 2 Volume Set will also benefit chemical engineers, materials scientists, and postgraduate students in polymer engineering or production programs.
