Conformations : Connecting the Chemical Structures and Material Behaviors of Polymers Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback
Description
Among the materials found in Nature’s many diverse living organisms or produced by human industry, those made from polymers are dominant.
In Nature, they are not only dominant, but they are, as well, uniquely necessary to life.
Conformations: Connecting the Chemical Structures and Material Behaviors of Polymers explores how the detailed chemical structures of polymers can be characterized, how their microstructural-dependent conformational preferences can be evaluated, and how these conformational preferences can be connected to the behaviors and properties of their materials. The authors examine the connections between the microstructures of polymers and the rich variety of physical properties they evidence.
Detailed polymer architectures, including the molecular bonding and geometries of backbone and side-chain groups, monomer stereo- and regiosequences, comonomer sequences, and branching, are explicitly considered in the analysis of the conformational characteristics of polymers. This valuable reference provides practicing materials engineers as well as polymer and materials science students a means of understanding the differences in behaviors and properties of materials made from chemically distinct polymers.
This knowledge can assist the reader design polymers with chemical structures that lead to their desired material behaviors and properties.
