Polymer Characterization

Focusing on techniques specific to polymers and on those aspects that are of particular value in polymer studies, Polymer Characterization: Physical Techniques provides an overview of a wide variety of characterization methods. It covers molecular/structural characterization using spectroscopic techniques, microscopy and diffraction, thermal analysis, surface analysis, and molecular mass determination. Designed for advanced undergraduate courses, this text is also suitable for students with no prior knowledge of the subject. Each topic offers students relevant information in a concise and accessible format using simple descriptions and numerous illustrations.
