| Description | | - Provides a good introduction to some of the most important modern materials
- Explains the subject in a clear and lucid style, the product of the authors' (combined) 33 years teaching in the field
- Discusses important industrial considerations as well as giving an academic grounding in the subject
- Gives an overview through from a historical perspective to the modern approach
| | Polymers are the archetypal modern materials, used in every aspect of everyday life. This Primer gives a thorough introduction to Polymer Chemistry, ranging from a historical perspective, through the development of high-tonnage materials earlier in the twentieth century, to modern high-performance materials that have a range of useful additional properties. The authors have long experience in
the teaching of polymer science to undergraduates, and also experience in the polymer industry. A feature of this Primer is a discussion of practical industrial aspects in the technology of these materials. |
Readership: All undergraduate students studying polymers, either as part of chemistry, materials or physics degree. Also relevant to some A-level students as well as industrial workers new to the field.
