9780470843352: Developments in Block Copolymer Science and Technology

Synopsis

Focuses on recent advances in research on block copolymers, covering chemistry (synthesis), physics (phase behaviors, rheology, modeling), and applications (melts and solutions). Written by a team of internationally respected scientists from industry and academia, this text compiles and reviews the expanse of research that has taken place over the last five years into one accessible resource.

  • Ian Hamley is the world-leading scientist in the field of block copolymer research
  • Presents the recent advances in the area, covering chemistry, physics and applications.
  • Provides a broad coverage from synthesis to fundamental physics through to applications
  • Examines the potential of block copolymers in nanotechnology as self-assembling soft materials

About the Author

Ian W. Hamley is the editor of Developments in Block Copolymer Science and Technology, published by Wiley.

From the Back Cover

Block copolymers are useful in many applications where a number of different polymers are connected together to yield a material with hybrid properties. These materials are used for example as melt processable plastics, detergents in solution, compatibilizers and adhesives. This volume aims to bring together significant recent advances on this topic, such as developments in computer modelling, thin film morphology characterization, nanoscience and technology applications. In addition, it covers new polymerization methods that have been introduced leading to the emergence of novel products and applications.

The book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in polymer science as well as industrial scientists involved in the polymer, coatings and microelectronics industries.
