A Valuable Resource on Polymer Characterization and Analysis for Scientists and Practitioners in Various Disciplines.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c82864) has announced the addition of "Characterization and Analysis of Polymers" to their offering.

Based on Wiley's renowned "Encyclopaedia of Polymer Science Polymer science or macromolecular science is the subfield of materials science concerned with polymers, primarily synthetic polymers such as plastics. The field of polymer science includes researchers in multiple disciplines including chemistry, physics, and engineering.  and Technology", "Characterization and Analysis of Polymers" provides coverage of key methods of characterization of the physical and chemical properties of polymers. Methods discussed include atomic force microscopy, chromatographic chro·mat·o·graph

, and thermal analysis Thermal analysis is a branch of materials science where the properties of materials are studied as they change with temperature. Techniques include:
  • Differential scanning calorimetry
  • Dynamic mechanical analysis
  • Thermomechanical analysis
, among others.

Written by prominent scholars from around the world, this reference presents over twenty-five self -contained articles on the most used analytical techniques currently practiced in polymer science. These techniques are grouped into three main categories based on fundamental properties:

Composition, molar mass, and molar mass distribution The Molar mass distribution in a polymer describes the relationship between a polymer fraction and the molar mass of that polymer fraction. In linear polymers the individual polymer chains rarely have the exact same degree of polymerization and there is always a distribution around  

Structure and morphology

Molecular organization and dynamics

"Characterization and Analysis of Polymers" is an ideal resource for chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, process engineers, consultants, and patent attorneys, and serves as a valuable addition to libraries in industry, academia, and government.
