With a focus on structure-property relationships, this book describes how polymer morphology affects properties and how scientists can modify them. The book covers structure development, theory, simulation, and processing; and discusses a broad range of techniques and methods. • Provides an up-to-date, comprehensive introduction to the principles and practices of polymer morphology • Illustrates major structure types, such as semicrystalline morphology, surface-induced polymer crystallization, phase separation, self-assembly, deformation, and surface topography • Covers a variety of polymers, such as homopolymers, block copolymers, polymer thin films, polymer blends, and polymer nanocomposites • Discusses a broad range of advanced and novel techniques and methods, like x-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and electron microscopy and their applications in the morphology of polymer materials
This new book is dedicated to related research on calculating, preparing polymers and characterizing the morphology of them, involving polymers from inorganic to organic materials including natural macromolecules.
With a focus on structure-property relationships, this book describes how polymer morphology affects properties and how scientists can modify them.
This is an introduction to form and structure of polymeric materials, illustrated by drawings and optical and electron micrographs.
