Polymer Applications of Renewable-Resource Materials

One of the most promising is peanut hull flour. When used in a phenolic resin, peanut hull flour, which is high in lignin content, had lower water absorption than wood flourl2. Also, peanut hulls are an abundant waste product (350,000 ...

Carraher's Polymer Chemistry, Ninth Edition

Most of the advancements in communication, computers, medicine, and air and water purity are linked to macromolecules and a fundamental understanding of the principles that govern their behavior. These fundamentals...
Carraher's Polymer Chemistry, Eighth Edition

Environmental impact assessment (EIA): An assessment of the possible impact that a project or material may have on the natural environment. Filament: The individual extrudate emerging from the holes in a spinneret; forms fibers.
Introduction to Polymer Chemistry, Fourth Edition

With an emphasis on the environment and green chemistry and materials, this fourth edition continues to provide detailed coverage of natural and synthetic giant molecules, inorganic and organic polymers, elastomers, adhesives, coatings, ...
Carraher's Polymer Chemistry, Tenth Edition

Providing a user-friendly approach to the world of polymeric materials, the book allows students to integrate their chemical knowledge and establish a connection between fundamental and applied chemical information.
Inorganic and Metal-Containing Polymeric Materials

Ruthenium-containing complexes have been studied as enzyme "mimic" models for chlorophyll and hemoglobin. Several ruthenium bipyridine-containing polymers have been prepared for the purpose of solar energy conversion (12-15).
