Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer science is a branch of material science that studies polymers especially synthetic polymers like plastic, synthetic rubber, teflon, kevlar, nylon, etc. It is developed on the principles of chemistry, physics and engineering. The major sub-disciplines of polymer science are polymer chemistry, polymer physics and polymer characterization. Polymer chemistry deals with the chemical properties and synthesis of polymers. Polymer physics explores the bulk properties of polymers and their engineering applications. The field of polymer characterization analyzes chemical structure and morphology of these materials. This book will provide in-depth knowledge about the properties and applications of polymers. The aim is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. Students, engineers, researchers and all professionals working in this domain will gain innovative insights in the field of polymer science.
