Introduction to Physical Polymer Science------wiley
This classic textbook provides a thorough introduction to the area of
physical polymer science, emphasizing interrelationships between
molecular structure and the morphology and mechanical behavior of
polymers. New to the fourth edition are sections on: controlled drug
delivery with biopharmaceutical polymers, nanotechnology-based
materials, the 3D structure and function of biopolymers (as well as the
use of optical tweezers), friction and wear in polymers, kinetics of
crystallization, mechanical behavior of biomedical polymers, glass
transition behavior of thin films, light-emitting polymers and electro
active materials, fire retardancy, interfaces of polymeric biomaterials
with living organisms, polymer self-assembly and much more.
