About this Item

Neuware - A broad examination of the physical properties of solutionsPolymer Solutions: An Introduction to Physical Properties offers a fresh, inclusive approach to teaching the fundamentals of physical polymer science. Students, instructors, and professionals in polymer chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, engineering, materials, and textiles will find Iwao Teraoka's text at once accessible and highly detailed in its treatment of the properties of polymers in the solution phase.Teraoka's purpose in writing Polymer Solutions is twofold: to familiarize the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate student with basic concepts, theories, models, and experimental techniques for polymer solutions; and to provide a reference for researchers working in the area of polymer solutions as well as those in charge of chromatographic characterization of polymers. The author's incorporation of recent advances in the instrumentation of size-exclusion chromatography, the method by which polymers are analyzed, renders the text particularly topical.Subjects discussed include:\* Real, ideal, Gaussian, semirigid, and branched polymer chains\* Polymer solutions and thermodynamics\* Static light scattering of a polymer solution\* Dynamic light scattering and diffusion of polymers\* Dynamics of dilute and semidilute polymer solutionsStudy questions at the end of each chapter not only provide students with the opportunity to test their understanding, but also introduce topics relevant to polymer solutions not included in the main text. With over 250 geometrical model diagrams, Polymer Solutions is a necessary reference for students and for scientists pursuing a broader understanding of polymers.; Alles über Polymere in Lösung: Dieses Buch wendet sich an Fachleute aus der Polymerchemie, Analytik, Werkstoffchemie und Physikochemie. Vorrangig werden die physikalischen Eigenschaften der Polymerlösungen besprochen.

About this title

Synopsis

Polymer Solutions: An Introduction to Physical Properties offers a fresh, inclusive approach to teaching the fundamentals of physical polymer science. Students, instructors, and professionals in polymer chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, engineering, materials, and textiles will find Iwao Teraoka’s text at once accessible and highly detailed in its treatment of the properties of polymers in the solution phase.

Teraoka’s purpose in writing Polymer Solutions is twofold: to familiarize the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate student with basic concepts, theories, models, and experimental techniques for polymer solutions; and to provide a reference for researchers working in the area of polymer solutions as well as those in charge of chromatographic characterization of polymers. The author’s incorporation of recent advances in the instrumentation of size-exclusion chromatography, the method by which polymers are analyzed, renders the text particularly topical.
Subjects discussed include:

• Real, ideal, Gaussian, semirigid, and branched polymer chains
  
• Polymer solutions and thermodynamics
  
• Static light scattering of a polymer solution
  
• Dynamic light scattering and diffusion of polymers
  
• Dynamics of dilute and semidilute polymer solutions

Study questions at the end of each chapter not only provide students with the opportunity to test their understanding, but also introduce topics relevant to polymer solutions not included in the main text. With over 250 geometrical model diagrams, Polymer Solutions is a necessary reference for students and for scientists pursuing a broader understanding of polymers.
