Polymer Characterization Techniques And Their Application To Blends

Download or read book Polymer Characterization Techniques and Their Application to Blends written by George P. Simon and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to introduce the reader to a wide range of polymer characterization techniques including thermal, rheology, mechanical, relaxational, scattering, and spectroscopic analysis. In addition to discussing the techniques and their experimental considerations in general, the chapters will show how the techniques are applied to polymer systems and how the data obtained is analyzed and interpreted. In order to connect each technique to applications, each chapter explains the use of the technique in the popular application of polymer blends. The blending of polymers continues to be a major area of polymer research in academia and industry, and in addition to its instructive role, each chapter serves as a review of the blend literature as relevant to a polymer blends researcher.
