An Introduction to Polymer Physics by David I. Bower offers general introduction to solid polymer physics at a more elementary level than many existing books, assuming no previous knowledge of polymers. It begins with a brief history of the development of synthetic polymers and an overview of the methods of polymerization and processing.
By following descriptions of important experimental techniques, the book deals with the structure and properties of solid polymers, blends, copolymers and liquid crystal polymers. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of physics, materials science or chemistry, it includes worked examples, and problems with solutions.
In the following chapter, David Bower describes important experimental techniques used in the study of polymers. The main part of the book, however, is devoted to the structure and properties of solid polymers, including blends, copolymers and liquid crystal polymers. This book will be particularly welcome by physicists, but it will also be extremely useful to a much wider audience, ranging from chemists to chemical engineers, to material scientists.
It is an excellent addition to any bookshelf. The book will help undergraduates to understand difficult concepts and introduce experienced polymer chemists to new areas. In short, this is an excellent book, which I believe will appeal to a wide range of chemists, physicists, material scientists, and engineers. The language used is rigorous, but the writing is very clear, and coherent from section to section. For practitioners of polymer and materials science, this book will be a great asset for teaching.
