catalog abstract "Designed to provide an appreciation of the fundamental principles of polymer science in engineering, Fundamental Principles of Polymeric Materials, Second Edition presents a broad and unified introduction to the field of high polymers, its many recent advances and practical applications. Based on material developed by the author for a chemical engineering course, this new Second Edition features thorough descriptions of polymer behavior, underlying theory, and related equations in a concise and easy-to-follow format. Divided into four sections, the book provides a balanced discussion of polymer science fundamentals, synthesis, properties, and technology. It also includes a large number of helpful end-of-chapter problems with worked-out answers that illustrate practical applications of the material. New to this Second Edition is a collection of timely features, including:. Expanded discussion of extended-chain crystals and their commercial developments; phase behavior in polymer-solvent systems; and three-dimensional stress and strain introduction to the Flory-Huggins theory; the "modified Cross" model; and Tobolsky's "Procedure X" for extracting discrete relaxation times and moduli from data. New sections on scaleup calculations for the laminar flow of non-Newtonian fluids; liquid-crystal polymers; and group-transfer polymerization, including a quantitative treatment of Ziegler-Natta polymerization with worked-out examples. All kinetic expressions are written in terms of conversions (rather than monomer concentration) for greater generality and ease of application. Kinetic expressions incorporate the possibility of a variable-volume reaction mass, and feature new examples to illustrate the effects of variable volume. Suitable for self-study and academic reference, Fundamental Principles of Polymeric Materials, Second Edition enables students and professionals in chemical and mechanical engineering to stay abreast of the many recent advances and the rapid expansion of knowledge in this important field.".
