Reviews
Praise for Volume 1, Polymeric Liquids and Networks: Structure and Properties: The attractive feature of Polymeric Liquids and Networks is that it starts from an elementary viewpoint emphasizing molecular chemical structure. Graessley then integrates this chemistry-dominated description with one that focuses on the universal properties of polymers.... ...Organized as a field guide to polymer science... The text is a wealth of information on the more technical matters of characterizing the structure and interactions of polymer solutions and understanding the miscibility of polymer blends in terms of polymer structural properties and measures of interpolymer interaction. ...A valuable resource for newcomers who are trying to understand essential concepts of polymer science, learn some history of the field, and find direction for further reading. -- Physics Today

Author Information
William W. Graessley holds B.S. degrees in both chemistry and chemical engineering from the University of Michigan, as well as a PhD. After four years with the Air Reduction Company, he joined the Chemical Engineering and Materials Science departments at Northwestern University. In 1982 he returned to industry as a senior scientific adviser at Exxon Corporate Laboratories and moved in 1987 to become professor of chemical engineering at Princeton University. He has published extensively on radiation cross-linking of polymers, polymerization reactor engineering, molecular aspects of polymer rheology, rubber network elasticity; and the thermodynamics of polymer blends. During 1979-80 he was a senior visiting fellow at Cambridge University. He now lives in Michigan as professor emeritus from Princeton and adjunct professor at Northwestern. His honors include an NSF Pre-doctoral Fellowship, the Bingham Medal (Society of Rheology), the Whitby Lectureship (University of Akron), the High Polymer Physics Prize (American Physical Society), and membership in the National Academy of Engineering.
