Science of Polymer Molecules

Zusammenfassung This book is an introduction to polymers and focuses on the synthesis! structure and properties of the individual molecules that constitute polymeric materials. It approaches polymeric materials from a molecular basis on the belief that there is a common core of knowledge and principles suitable for an introductory work. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1.
