Description
Updated to reflect a growing focus on green chemistry in the scientific community and in compliance with the American Chemical Society's Committee on Professional Training guidelines Carraher's Polymer Chemistry Eighth Edition integrates the core areas that contribute to the growth of polymer science. It supplies the basic understanding of polymers essential to the training of science biomedical and engineering students. New in the Eighth Edition: Updating of analytical physical and special characterization techniques Increased emphasis on carbon nanotubes tapes and glues butyl rubber polystyrene polypropylene polyethylene poly(ethylene glycols) shear-thickening fluids photo-chemistry and photophysics dental materials and aramids New sections on copolymers including fluoroelastomers nitrile rubbers acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymers and EPDM rubber New units on spliceosomes asphalt and fly ash and aluminosilicates Larger focus on the molecular behavior of materials including nano-scale behavior nanotechnology and nanomaterials Continuing to provide a user-friendly approach to the world of polymeric materials the book allows students to integrate their chemical knowledge and establish a connection between fundamental and applied chemical information. It contains all of the elements of an introductory text with synthesis property application and characterization. Special sections in each chapter contain definitions learning objectives questions and additional reading with case studies woven into the text fabric.
