Fundamentals of Polymer Chemistry : Principles, Methods, Properties and Applications
About this ebook
Polymer Chemistry can also be included in broader fields of Polymer science or even nanotechnology, both of which can be described as encompassing polymer physics and polymer engineering.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction and circumscribes the recent development in the realm of polymer science in a multi-mode model. The book emphasizes both theoretical perspectives along with examples to make readers understand the subject in depth alongside also presents subjective, objective-cum-numerical problems enabling students to prepare for various competitive examinations.
