| polymer solutions an introduction to physical properties: Inorganic Polymers James E. Mark, Harry R. Allcock, Robert West, 2005-04-21 Polymer chemistry and technology form one of the major areas of molecular and materials science. This field impinges on nearly every aspect of modern life, from electronics technology, to medicine, to the wide range of fibers, films, elastomers, and structural materials on which everyone depends. Although most of these polymers are organic materials, attention is being focused increasingly toward polymers that contain inorganic elements as well as organic components. The goal of Inorganic Polymers is to provide a broad overview of inorganic polymers in a way that will be useful to both the uninitiated and those already working in this field. There are numerous reasons for being interested in inorganic polymers. One is the simple need to know how structure affects the properties of a polymer, particularly outside the well-plowed area of organic materials. Another is the bridge that inorganic polymers provide between polymer science and ceramics. More and more chemistry is being used in the preparation of ceramics of carefully controlled structure, and inorganic polymers are increasingly important precursor materials in such approaches. This new edition begins with a brief introductory chapter. That is followed with a discussion of the characteristics and characterization of polymers, with examples taken from the field. Other chapters in the book detail the synthesis, reaction chemistry, molecular structure, and uses of polyphosphazenes, polysiloxanes, and polysilanes. The coverage in the second edition has been updated and expanded significantly to cover advances and interesting trends since the first edition appeared. Three new chapters have been added, focusing on ferrocene-based polymers, other phosphorous-containing polymers, and boron-containing polymers; inorganic-organic hybrid composites; and preceramic inorganic polymers. |

| polymer solutions an introduction to physical properties: An Introduction to Plastics Hans-Georg Elias, 2003-11-07 Die Leser mussten lange warten: Jetzt endlich, zehn Jahre nach Erscheinen der ersten Auflage, gibt es die grundlegend überarbeitete Neuauflage dieses Klassikers, inhaltlich erweitert und neu strukturiert. Doch an seinem Konzept hat sich nichts geändert: Es ist eine präzise, aber nicht-mathematische Einführung in das Gebiet der Kunststoffe. Die ökonomische Bedeutung von Kunststoffen bzw. Polymeren ist weiterhin enorm. Höchste Zeit also für die Neuauflage dieser erfolgreichen Einführung. Sie gibt einen aktuellen und ebenso klaren wie detaillierten Überblick über Rohstoffe, Herstellungsverfahren und die Materialeigenschaften der Kunststoffe. Letztere werden zu den molekularen und supermolekularen Eigenschaften der Polymere in Beziehung gesetzt. Die Kapitel zu Polymerverbindungen, Morphologie, Fließverhalten und Verarbeitung wurden gegenüber der ersten Auflage erheblich erweitert. Neu hinzugekommen sind Abschnitte zur elektrischen Leitfähigkeit sowie zu nicht-linearen optischen Eigenschaften. Auch wer über die neuesten Entsorgungsverfahren Bescheid wissen möchte, wird von Elias bestens informiert. Ein wesentlicher Grund für den Erfolg der Vorauflage sollte auch ihre Fortsetzung zum Bestseller werden lassen: der klare, mitunter brillante Stil des Autors. So komplex die Materie auch sein mag: Elias findet die angemessene sprachliche Form. Dass Verständlichkeit in diesem Buch ganz groß geschrieben wird, belegen auch sein Aufbau sowie der sehr praktische, übersichtliche Index. Ob Chemiker, Physiker, Materialwissenschaftler, Ingenieure oder Techniker: Wer sich einen Überblick über Kunststoffe und Polymere verschaffen möchte, dürfte kaum ein geeigneteres Buch finden. |
| polymer solutions an introduction to physical properties: Polymer Solutions H. Fujita, 2012-12-02 Remarkable progress has been made in the last two decades in the study of concentrated polymer solutions leading to many new concepts, theories, and techniques in the field of polymer science. Any description of the theory of polymer solutions is now insufficient unless both concentrated and dilute solutions are given equal attention. This book reviews recent developments in the study of dilute and concentrated polymer solutions, emphasizing mainly the typical equilibrium and steady-state dynamic properties of linear homopolymers. The author strives to clarify the gap which still remains open between current theories and well-documented experimental results, thereby stimulating further efforts toward a more accurate understanding of polymer solutions.The book contains a collection of typical experimental data and their comparison with current theories, molecular or phenomenological, a summary of recent advances in the physics of concentrated polymer solutions and melts, and an elementary account of the renormalization group theory as applied to dilute solutions. Polymer Solutions should prove invaluable as a reference work for graduate students and specialists in this field. |

| polymer solutions an introduction to physical properties: Scaling Concepts in Polymer Physics Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, 1979 The first stage of the physics of long, flexible chains was pioneered by eminent scientists such as Debye, Kuhn, Kramers, and Flory, who formulated the basic ideas. In recent years, because of the availability of new experimental and theoretical tools, a second stage of the physics of polymers has evolved. In this book, a noted physicist explains the radical changes that have taken place in this exciting and rapidly developing field. Pierre-Gilles de Gennes points out the three developments that have been essential for recent advances in the study of large-scale conformations and motions of flexible polymers in solutions and melts. They are the advent of neutron-scattering experiments on selectively deuterated molecules; the availability of inelastic scattering of laser light, which allows us to study the cooperative motions of the chains; and the discovery of an important relationship between polymer statistics and critical phenomena, leading to many simple scaling laws. Until now, information relating to these advances has not been readily accessible to physical chemists and polymer scientists because of the difficulties in the new theoretical language that has come into use. Professor de Gennes bridges this gap by presenting scaling concepts in terms that will be understandable to students in chemistry and engineering as well as in physics. |
| polymer solutions an introduction to physical properties: Statistical Physics of Polymers Toshihiro Kawakatsu, 2013-03-09 This book is an introductory textbook on the statistical mechanics of poly mers and complex fluids aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate stu dents and non-specialist researchers who are starting research in this field. Modern statistical mechanics on polymers and complex fluids is based on many fields, such as chemical physics, statistical mechanics, quantum me chanics, stochastic processes, theory of phase transitions, hydrodynamics, rheology, and so on. This book provides an overview of the basic concepts and methods used in current research on the physics of polymers and complex fluids. Using simple but essential examples, we describe how to derive the physical properties of polymers theoretically, focusing on the structure and dynamics on mesoscopic scales. Here, the term 'mesoscopic scales' means intermediate lengths and time scales between the microscopic atomic scale and the macroscopic scale. Properties on mesoscopic scales are the central issue of the physics of polymers and complex fluids, because these materials are well characterized by spatiotemporal structures on these scales, where we can extract universal properties that are independent of the microscopic details of the system. |

| polymer solutions an introduction to physical properties: Polymeric Liquids & Networks William W. Graessley, 2003-11-20 Polymeric Liquids and Networks: Structure and Properties is the first book of two by William W. Graessley that presents a unified view of flexible-chain polymer liquids and networks. The topics of both volumes range from equilibrium properties to dynamic response, finite deformation behavior and non-Newtonian flow. The second book will be titled Polymeric Liquids and Networks: Dynamics and Rheology. These various aspects of the field were developed over the past 70 years by researchers from many academic disciplines. The infusion of fresh viewpoints continually invigorated and enriched the field, making polymeric liquids and networks a truly interdisciplinary subject. The lack of a common terminology and perspective, however, has led to compartmentalization, making it difficult for a newcomer, even one technically trained, to gain a broad appreciation of the field and to see the relationships among its various parts. The aim of these two books, without diluting the substance, is to achieve a desired unity.Polymeric Liquids and Networks emphasizes fundamental principles and a molecular viewpoint. The conceptual basis of theories underlying each topical area is explained with derivations sometimes outlined briefly and sometimes given in detail. Technical terminology is kept to a minimum necessary for coherent presentation. The goal of the text is to provide an informed understanding rather than detailed technical proficiency. Theory, experiment, and simulation are woven together as appropriate for achieving a balanced view. The books are designed to serve academic and industrial needs, consolidating the understanding of topics with both practical and fundamental significance, and written from a technical but non-specialized perspective.The books deal mainly with non-polar and weakly polar species and largely with results derived from experiments on structurally well-defined systems. The objective is not to ignore |

| polymer solutions an introduction to physical properties: Polymer Mechanochemistry Roman Boulatov, 2015-10-17 The series Topics in Current Chemistry presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in modern chemical research. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field. Review articles for the individual volumes are invited by the volume editors. Readership: research chemists at universities or in industry, graduate students. |

| polymer solutions an introduction to physical properties: Products and Applications of Biopolymers Casparus Verbeek, 2012-03-07 It is interesting to consider that biopolymers are by no means new to this world. It is only because of our fascination with petrochemical products that these wonderful materials have been neglected for so long. Today we face a different challenge. Environmental pressure is pushing away from synthetic or petro-chemically derived products, while economic factors are pulling back from often more expensive green options. This book presents two aspects of biopolymers; potential products and some applications of biopolymers covering the current relevance of biopolymers. |
| polymer solutions an introduction to physical properties: Diffusion and Electrophoretic NMR Peter Stilbs, 2019-08-19 Diffusion and Eletrophoretic NMR experiments resolve chemical compounds based on their molecular motion. This publication introduces the basics of these methods and explains how they can be used to measure the size of molecules and aggregates, to determine degree of polymerization and to solve other chemical problems. Supplied with many case studies, the book is a must-have for students and researchers who work with practical NMR measurements. |
