Marco Morra is the author of Polymer Surfaces: From Physics to Technology , Revised and Updated Edition, published by Wiley. Ernesto Occhiello is the author of Polymer Surfaces: From Physics to Technology , Revised and Updated Edition, published by Wiley. Klappentext This is a revised and updated edition of the highly popular Polymer Surfaces first published in 1994. The authors have revised and updated the content and added recent references. Polymer Surfaces - From Physics to Technology is divided into four main sections.* The origins and physical principles governing the properties of polymer surfaces* Characterization techniques - spectroscopic, surface energetic and contact angle* The modification of polymer surface properties* Applications - wettability, adhesion, biocompatibilityFinal year students and postgraduate students of polymer science and technology will find this extremely valuable, especially in the more accessible paperback format. Zusammenfassung The science and technology of surfaces and interfaces are playing an increasingly important role in the polymer field. This book presents a comprehensive approach to all aspects of polymer surfaces from fundamentals through to applications. Inhaltsverzeichnis INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. The Origin of Surface Properties.
