Polymer Technology and Engineering
An introduction into polymer structures and the major synthetic routes of polymerization: including addition, condensation, ionic, emulsion, and copolymerization techniques. Topics cover molecular mechanisms, kinetics, and stereochemistry of polymerization. Additional material includes polymer characterization and how polymer structure affects physical properties. Emphasis will be placed on rheology, transport, thermodynamics, and current polymer applications.
