Polymer Science and Technology 3rd Edition by Joel Fried offers easy-to-read coverage of all of the field’s fundamentals, from core principles to the latest advances in synthetic and physical polymer chemistry and the newest applications. This edition is designed to serve equally well as a tutorial for graduate-level and advanced undergraduate-level students and as a reference for practicing scientists and engineers.
Extensive new coverage in this edition includes the use of ionic liquids, recent advances in nano polymer science, new alternative energy applications, including polymers in fuel cell membranes and organic solar cells, new medical/bioengineering applications, including polymers as scaffolds in tissue engineering.
There is completely new chapter introducing computational polymer science, with coverage of advanced molecular simulations and artificial neural networks. This edition contains a greatly expanded and significantly updated collection of example and exercise problems. The comprehensive coverage also includes: properties of polymers in solutions and in the melt, rubber, and solid states; discussions of all important categories of plastics; and much more. Example calculations are presented throughout.
Expanded coverage of important topics in polymer science and engineering-Including polymer synthesis such as metallocene catalysis, atom-transfer radical polymerization, the use of supercritical fluids as a polymerization medium, the genetic engineering of polymers, nanocomposites, rubber elasticity, and degradation and recycling introduces students to the latest and most important topics in polymer science with example calculations, homework problems, and bibliographic references.
This text also provides students with greater pedagogical resources for a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Expanded discussion of crystallinity and greater coverage of characterization methods-Including established techniques such as microhardness and tribology and new instrumental methods including temperature-modulated DSC gives students a greater understanding of these topics.
Finally, this book presents a comprehensive, up-to-date review of the current state of polymer science and technology and emerging areas of growth. In addition to synthetic polymer chemistry, the book also covers the properties of polymers in solutions and in the melt, rubber, and solid states, surveying all important categories of plastics. It includes detailed coverage of both polymer processing principles and the latest polymer applications in a wide range of industries-including medicine, biotechnology, chemicals, and electronics.
