Polymer Surfaces and Interfaces

Presents an in-depth treatment of the current state of polymer surface science, notably techniques in materials characterization, properties and reactions of polymers, polymer synthesis, and applications to a number of important fields. Provides a wealth of experimental data and mathematical treatments of both data and theory. Specific topics include luminescence techniques applied to polymer interfaces, analysis and chemical imaging of polymer surfaces by SIMS, interaction between polymer-bearing surfaces, and environmental attack at metal-adhesive interfaces. Based on a 1985 symposium at Durham University, it contains articles by a prestigious group of 25 authors and offers a further look at subjects treated in the widely used Polymer Surfaces published by Wiley in 1978.
