Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The new edition of a classic text and reference The large chains of molecules known as polymers are currently used in everything from "wash and wear" clothing to rubber tires to protective enamels and paints. Yet the practical applications of polymers are only increasing; innovations in polymer chemistry constantly bring both improved and entirely new uses for polymers onto the technological playing field. Principles of Polymerization, Fourth Edition presents the classic text on polymer synthesis, fully updated to reflect today's state of the art. New and expanded coverage in the Fourth Edition includes: * Metallocene and post-metallocene polymerization catalysts * Living polymerizations (radical, cationic, anionic) * Dendrimer, hyperbranched, brush, and other polymer architectures and assemblies * Graft and block copolymers * High-temperature polymers * Inorganic and organometallic polymers * Conducting polymers * Ring-opening polymer ization * In vivo and in vitro polymerization Appropriate for both novice and advanced students as well as professionals, this comprehensive yet accessible resource enables the reader to achieve an advanced, up-to-date understanding of polymer synthesis. Different methods of polymerization, reaction parameters for synthesis, molecular weight, branching and crosslinking, and the chemical and physical structure of polymers all receive ample coverage. A thorough discussion at the elementary level prefaces each topic, with a more advanced treatment following. Yet the language throughout remains straightforward and geared towards the student. Extensively updated, Principles of Polymerization, Fourth Edition provides an excellent textbook for today's students of polymer chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science, as well as a current reference for the researcher or other practitioner working in these areas.

General, Organic, and Biochemistry Media Update

By: Ira Blei,George Odian

Blei and Odian’s text gives students the tools they need to develop a working understanding of chemical principles—rather than just asking them to memorize facts. Now available in a new media-enhanced version, complete with its on own online course space, learning environment ChemPortal, Blei/Odian is better suited than ever to meet the needs of the students taking this course. The Media Update version of Blei/Odian includes references to dynamic, interactive tutorials, which provide a step-by-step walkthrough of concepts and problem-solving skills, as well as answer-specific feedback and practice problems. We recognize that all introductory courses are not alike. For that reason, we offer this text in three versions, so you can choose the option that’s right for you: General, Organic, and Biochemistry (cloth: 0-7167-4375-2, paper: 1-4292-0994-1) – the comprehensive 26-chapter text. An Introduction to General Chemistry (0-7167-7073-3) – 10 chapters that cover the core concepts in general chemistry. Organic and Biochemistry (0-7167-7072-5) – 16 chapters that cover organic and biochemistry plus two introductory chapters that review general chemistry.

Elastomeric Polymers with High Rate Sensitivity

Applications in Blast, Shockwave, and Penetration Mechanics

By: Roshdy George S Barsoum

Recent investigations into blast-resistant properties of polyureas and other multi-phase polymeric elastomers indicate that they can dissipate broad bands of frequencies such as those encountered in blast events. In this unique book, Elastomeric Polymers with High Rate Sensitivity, Dr. Roshdy Barsoum and expert contributors bring together the cutting-edge testing methodologies, material properties, and critical design data for engineers seeking to deploy this technology. Where conventional methods of resisting blast, shockwave, and penetration are expensive, time-consuming and impractical, high-strain rate elastomeric polymers (HSREP) can be cheaper, quicker, and more easily applied to new and old materials alike. This book aids both military and civilian engineers in a range of applications, from buildings and tunnels to lightweight armor, ships, and aircraft. The book features constitutive models for software developers designing with these advanced polymers, as well as a discussion of the mechanisms of interaction between high-strain rate polymers and other materials. It also thoroughly covers HSREP engineering methods to achieve other unique properties, such as fireproofing. - Material properties and design data included to enable engineers to successfully deploy this technology - Cheaper, quicker, and more easily implemented than traditional methods of increasing blast and ballistic performance - A how-to guide to the engineering of high strain rate elastomeric polymers to achieve other useful properties, such as fireproofing

Block Copolymers

Synthetic Strategies, Physical Properties, and Applications

By: Nikos Hadjichristidis,Stergios Pispas,George Floudas

Polymers may be classified as either homopolymers, consisting of one single repeating unit, or copolymers, consisting of two or more distinct repeating units. Block copolymers contain long contiguous blocks of two or more repeating units in the same polymer chain. Covering one of the hottest topics in polymer chemistry, Block Copolymers provides a coherent overview of the synthetic routes, physical properties, and applications of block copolymers. This pioneering text provides not only a guideline for developing synthetic strategies for creating block copolymers with defined characteristics, but also a key to the relationship between the physical properties of block copolymers and the structure and dynamics of materials. Covering features of the chemistry and physics of block copolymers that are not found in comparable texts, Block Copolymers illustrates the structure-activity relationship of block copolymers and offers suggestions for the design of specific applications. Divided into five sections-Block Copolymers includes chapters on: * Block Copolymers by Chemical Modification of Precursor Polymers * Nonlinear Block Copolymers * Adsorption of Block Copolymers at Solid-Liquid Interfaces * Theory of Block Copolymer Segregation * Phase Transformation Kinetics * Block Copolymer Morphology * Block Copolymer Dynamics Polymer chemists, physicists, chemical engineers, and materials scientists, as well as graduate students in polymer science, will find Block Copolymers to be an invaluable text.
