[内容简介]
Whether you are an upper or graduate level student studying polymer science and engineering or an engineer new to the field of polymers, you'll benefit from reading The Elements of Polymer Science and Engineering 3e. Since the publication of the second edition in 1999, the field of polymers has advanced considerably. A key feature of the third edition is the inclusion of new concepts such as polymer nanocomposites and metallocene catalysts in existing chapters as well as new chapters covering selected contemporary topics such as behavior of natural polymers, polymer dynamics, and diffusion in polymers. The book has been completely reorganized to become more aligned with how instructors currently teach the course. In addition there are several enhancements to the book’s pedagogy that make it more appealing to both instructors and students, including the addition of new worked examples and new figures to better illustrate key concepts, and new of end-of-chapter exercises, many of them based on recently published research and relevant industrial data.
