Book excerpt: It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of polymer science to life in the twentieth century. Developments in polymer chemistry and engineering have led not only to the creation of a variety of substances such as synthetic fibers, synthetic rubber, and plastic but also to discoveries about proteins, DNA, and other biological compounds that have revolutionized western medicine. For these reasons, the history of the discipline tells an important story about how both our material and intellectual worlds have come to be as they are. Yasu Furukawa explores that history by tracing the emergence of macromolecular chemistry, the true beginning of modern polymer science. It is a lively book, given human interest through its focus on the work of two of the central figures in the development of macromolecular chemistry, Hermann Staudinger and Wallace Carothers. In Inventing Polymer Science, Furukawa examines the origins and development of the scientific work of Staudinger and Carothers, illuminates their different styles in research and professional activities, and contrasts the peculiar institutional and social milieux in which they pursued their goals.

Book Synopsis Pioneers in Polymer Science by : F.B. Seymour

Download or read book Pioneers in Polymer Science written by F.B. Seymour. This book was released on 2012-12-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of a lack of appreciation for his efforts in developing modern polymer science, the contributions of Hermann Staudinger were disregarded for decades. There have also been delays in recognizing the contributions of other pioneers in polymer science. Hence, it is gratifying to note that Professor Seymour chaired an American Chemical Society Symposium focusing on the contributions of these pioneers and that Kluwer Academic Publishers has published the proceedings of this important symposium. H.Mark v DEDICATION This book on Pioneers in Polymer Science is dedicated to Nobel Laureate Polymer Scientists Hermann Staudinger, Emil Fischer, Herman Mark, Paul J. Flory, Linus Pauling, Carl S. Marvel, M. Polanyi, Giulio Natta, Karl Ziegler, and Bruce Merrifield as well as to those pioneers such as J.C. Patrick, Robert Thomas, William Sparks, Maurice Huggins, Qtto Bayer, Leo Baekeland, Anselm Payer, Roger Boyer, Waldo Semon, Robert Banks, J.P. Hogan, and other pioneers who, to a large degree, were responsible for the development of the world's second largest industry. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The editor appreciates the contribution of co-authors Herman Mark, C.H. Fisher, and G. Alan Stahl who co chaired the Symposium on Pioneers in Polymer Science at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society at Seattle, WA in 1984 and who contributed a chapter in this book. The editor is particularly grateful to Mischa Thomas who typed this manuscript.

Book Synopsis Principles of Polymers by : Dibyendu Sekhar Bag

Download or read book Principles of Polymers written by Dibyendu Sekhar Bag. This book was released on 2013. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been written in a concise manner to include all fundamental aspects of polymer science including recent inventions in polymerisation's and polymers. It covers atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP), reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT), nitroxide-mediated polymerisation (NMP), click chemistry as well as stereopolymerisation, ring opening metathesis polymerisation (ROMP), group transfer polymerisation (GTP), plasma polymerisation etc. in addition to the usual polymerisation mechanisms such as radical, ionic and step polymerisations. It also includes new developments of polymer science which are considered as hot topics of functional polymers like smart or intelligent polymers, light emitting polymers, conducting polymers, magnetic polymers, optically active and/or chiral polymers, liquid crystalline polymers, self-healing polymers, polymers for biomedical applications, dendrimers and/or dendritic polymers and polymer nanocomposites etc.

Book Synopsis Essentials of Polymer Science and Engineering by : Paul C. Painter

Download or read book Essentials of Polymer Science and Engineering written by Paul C. Painter. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Written by two of the best-known scientists in the field, Paul C. Painter and Michael M. Coleman, this unique text helps students, as well as professionals in industry, understand the science, and appreciate the history, of polymers. Composed in a witty and accessible style, the book presents a comprehensive account of polymer chemistry and related engineering concepts, highly illustrated with worked problems and hundreds of clearly explained formulas. In contrast to other books, 'Essentials' adds historical information about polymer science and scientists and shows how laboratory discoveries led to the development of modern plastics."--DEStech Publications web-site.
