Polymer Science and Technology

This book starts with a very brief description on polymers, nanomaterials and polymer nanocomposites including their characterization, analysis, testing and processing. This book is aimed towards both experienced students as well as to the beginner student who wishes to peruse research work in the field. Therefore, this is the first book of its kind on…

This book is a compiled contribution from experts in the field of natural polymers, and it is organized into two volumes. The purpose of this book is to provide an entire catalogue of natural polymers, beginning with their introduction, mass production, qualitative and quantitative characterization and leading to their advanced applications in every aspect of…

Polypropylene (PP) is a typical polymorphic polymer with α-form, β-form, γ-form, and mesomorphic smectic form modifications, and crystallizes into diverse morphologies. In this book, Chapter One comprehensively reviews the kinds of self-assembly β-nucleating agents and the manipulation strategies in the practical processing to control the crystal structure and prepare high-performance PP products. Chapter Two discusses…

The book Natural Polymers: Derivatives, Blends and Composites Volume II is an edited volume comprised of fifteen chapters from different experts working in the area of natural polymers. Natural polymers are finding applications in fields of packaging, medicine, pharmaceutics, biomedicine, textiles and many others. This book gives detailed insight into all aspects of natural polymers…

This book is a comprehensive introduction to “green polymeric materials,” which are developed by using natural resource-based polymers. This book also summarises various techniques used for their synthesis and application in different areas. This book is a useful reference not only for academic activities, but also for researchers working in this area. Key features: •…
