About this title

Synopsis

As a source of data and for estimations of properties to be expected this book is now widely used all over the world. This Third Edition is thoroughly revised and updated. Its objectives, as for the previous two editions, are to correlate properties with chemical structure and to describe methods that permit the estimation and prediction of numerical properties from chemical structure, i.e. nearly all properties of the solid, liquid and dissolved states of polymers. New are chapters and sub-chapters discussing extended chain polymers, liquid crystal polymers and high performance polymers, De Gennes' scaling concept of polymer solutions, physical ageing, acoustic properties, the dual-mode permeation theory, the decomposition temperature and polymer reinforcing constructions. The chapters and sub-chapters on molecular mass distribution, glass and crystalline-melt temperatures, equations of state and on failure mechanisms have been greatly extende

Review

...my students and I have found the second edition to be invaluable, but we are glad to replace it with this new and expanded version. -- Donald R. Paul, The University of Texas at Austin, Journal of the American Chemical Society

...should be on the desk of every research manager concerned with polymer properties. It is an essential purchase for libraries who serve the wide community of scientists and engineers concerned with polymers. ...a superb book worth every penny of the price. -- Chemistry and Industry

...should have a prominent position in the library of any organisation concerned with polymer properties. It is a superb book which is difficult to fault. -- Polymer International

...the third edition is a valuable update of an already indispensable reference source. The expanded coverage is well worth the investment. -- Computational Polymer Science

This is the outstanding handbook on the subject of polymer properties. -- ASLIB Booklist
