Applied Polymer Science (International Encyclopaedia Of Applied Science And Technology: Series)

This publication provides readers with an introduction to applied polymer science and its fields like polymer typology. An introduction to polymer characterization is made. The main factors of polymer weathering are discussed. This publication also describes polymer engineering, polymer nanocomposites, copolymers, forensic polymer engineering and in-situ polymerization. An overview of molecular imprinted polymers and other related polymers is provided herein. The role of polymers in plastic surgery and other applications of polymers are described. Special focus also lies on superabsorbent polymers, supramolecular polymers and synthetic biodegradable polymers.
