Book Synopsis Polymers at Surfaces and Interfaces by : Richard A. L. Jones
Download or read book Polymers at Surfaces and Interfaces written by Richard A. L. Jones. This book was released on 1999-04-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text deals with the behavior of polymers at surfaces and interfaces. Topics covered include the nature and properties of the surface of a polymer melt, the structure of interfaces among different polymers and between polymers and nonpolymers, the molecular basis of adhesion and the properties of polymers at liquid surfaces. Emphasis is placed on the underlying physical principles. It introduces statistical mechanics models of polymer behavior near interfaces, emphasizing theory that is applicable to experimental situations. Advanced undergraduates, graduate students and research workers in physics, chemistry and materials science with an interest in polymers will find this book of interest.
