Description

A sub-field within materials science is polymer science that predominantly revolves around synthetic polymers like plastics and elastomers. This field is segmented into three primary sub-domains, namely, polymer characterization, polymer physics, and polymer chemistry. Under polymer chemistry, the emphasis lies on the chemical synthesis and properties of polymers. Polymer physics, on the other hand, delves into the overarching characteristics of polymer materials and their practical applications in engineering. Meanwhile, polymer characterization is concerned with dissecting the chemical structure and morphology, while also elucidating physical properties concerning compositional and structural variables. Polymer science is an upcoming field of science that has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of polymer science. Those with an interest in this field would find this book helpful.
