The Handbook of Polymer Testing: Physical Methods provides virtually currently used techniques for measuring and testing the physical properties of polymers. A concise but detailed technical guide to the physical testing methods of synthetic polymers in plastics, rubbers, cellular materials, textile..

Derived from the well-known Plastics Technology Handbook, this volume is for those whose work focuses on the latest designs in and applications for industrial and specialty polymers. It discusses industrial polymers that are produced using a free-radical mechanism, as well as lesser-used polyurethan..

With contributions from a community of experts, the book focuses on the use of ionic functions to define the principle of operation in polymer devices. It begins by reviewing the scientific understanding and important scientific discoveries made on the electrochemistry of conjugated polymers. It exa..
