OverviewThe Fifth Edition of Principles of Polymer Systems has been completely revised and updated. The chemical engineering perspective has been retained and strengthened, and the broad applications of polymers in chemistry and materials science have been addressed. The theoretical basis for various topics has been deepened and strengthened and several new topics are addressed. These changes reflect the rapidly growing recognition by all scientists and engineers of the role polymers play in industry. Electronics and medicine are representative areas that require more than a passing knowledge of macromolecular principles. Both areas receive attention in this edition. The end-of-chapter problems in the book have been completely replaced with the new problems. A solutions manual will be available to qualified instructors.

Table of ContentsReviewsThis book is highly recommended to undergraduate and graduate students, to chemists and engineers working in different polymer fields.. <br>-D.Feldman, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, Polymer News, September 2003 <br> This new edition of this classic and highly affordable volume deserves a place in any university or corporate library whose users research, fabricate, or test polymers. ...The book provides a nice balance between an explanation of fundamentals, solution and solid state properties, processing and methods of characterization. Throughout, the book maintains a focus on industrial polymers and effectively covers the entire life cycle of modern polymer materials. Appendixes, particularly valuable for graduate students, not only list the typical properties reported for some major industrial polymers used for molding extrusion or fiber making, but also provide ASTM test methods used. Summing up: Highly recommended.<br>. <br>-P.G. Heiden, Michigan Technological University, CHOICE, March 2004 <br> Author InformationFerdinand Rodriguez is Professor Emeritus, Cornell University. He has been a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Cornell University for over 40 years. He also has seven years experience in the polymer industry. He received his B.S. and M.S degrees from Case Institute of Technology and his Ph.D from Cornell, all in Chemical Engineering. Claude Cohen is Professor of Chemical Engineering at Cornell University. He received his B.S. from American University in Cairo and his Ph.D from Princeton University in Chemistry. He was a Katzir-Katchalsky Fellow in the Polymers Department at the Weizmann Institute in Israel and a research associate in chemical engineering at Caltech before joining Cornell in 1977. Christopher Ober is Francis Norwood Bard Professor of Materials Engineering and Director Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University. His research insterests include the synthesis, processing and characterization of functional polymers. Of special interest are systems which undergo self-organization/assembly including liquid crystalline polymers and block copolymers. Lynden Archer is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at Cornell. He received his B.Sc in Chemical Engineering (Polymer Science) from the University of Southern California and his Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University. Prior to joining Cornell he has held positions at Texas A&M University and AT&T Bell Laboratories. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
