Inhaltsangabe

The Essential Handbook of Polymer Terms and Attributes not only acts as an encyclopaedia of polymer science but also fosters an appreciation for the significance of polymers in fields including materials science, chemistry, engineering, and medicine.

This book serves as an excellent reference book, covering every possible term and attribution associated with the vast and diverse field of polymers. This comprehensive volume serves as a vital resource for researchers working in industry and academia, offering a clear and concise exploration of polymer science with the most essential reference data available.

Each polymer term is defined in a straightforward manner, ensuring that readers of all levels can grasp the concepts. The book goes beyond mere definitions, providing context and insights into the applications, properties, and synthesis. Bringing polymer terms and attributes together in one place, the book provides a broad knowledge of polymer science and facilitates idea generation for researchers and students embarking on projects related to a specific field of polymer science.

Key features:

• This book covers all possible terms associated with the field of “polymers" and related areas, granting readers a comprehensive understanding of the entire spectrum of polymers.
• The organization of the book follows an alphabetical format, enabling quick and convenient access to specific terms.
• Each polymer term is clearly defined with a figure or scheme as needed, allowing readers to visualize the structures, processes, and applications involved.

This book is written for science students, chemists, polymer scientists, chemical engineers, pharmaceutical scientists, biomedical scientists, biotechnologists, product formulators, materials scientists, and scientists working on polymers.
