Principles of Polymer Systems, Sixth Edition by Ferdinand Rodriguez

Rate this book
The Fifth Edition of Principles of Polymer Systems has been completely revised and updatd. The chemical engineering perspective has been retained and strengthened, and the broad applications of polymers in chemistry and materials science has been addressed. The theoretical basis for various topics has been deepend and strengthened and several new topics are addressed. Chapter 3 has been expanded to include sections on the following: Conformation of Single Chains in Solution, Phase Separation in Polymer Mixtures, Transitions in Pure Polymers, Block Copolymers and Gels. Chapter 7 has expanded to include sections on: Normal Stress Differences in Shear, and Rheometry. Chapter 12 has been expanded to include sections on: Coatings and Adhesives, Applications of Polymers to Microelectronics and Applications of Polymers in Medicine. A new chapter has been added addressing Extrusion and Molding. These changes reflect the rapidly growing recognition by all scientists and engineers of the role polymers play in industry. Plastics, fibres, elastomers, coatings and adhesives still are a key part of the chemical industry.; However, there is a remarkable diversity of applications for polymer products that go beyond such traditional areas as paint, packaging, tyres, and clothing. Even mature applications make use of new polymers with structures that were unknown a few decades ago. Electronics and medicine are representative areas that require more than a passing knowledge of macromolecular principles. Both areas receive attention in this edition. The end-of-chapter problems in the book have been completely replaced with the new problems. A solutions manual will be available to qualified instructors.
