Discerning the properties of polymers and polymer-based materials requires a good understanding of characterization. This revised and updated text provides a comprehensive survey of characterization methods within its simple, concise chapters. 
Polymer Characterization: Physical Techniques, provides an overview of a wide variety of characterization methods, which makes it an excellent textbook and reference. It starts with a description of basic polymer science, providing a solid foundation from which to understand the key physical characterization techniques. The authors explain physical principles without heavy theory and give special emphasis to the application of the techniques to polymers, with plenty of illustrations. Topics covered include molecular weight determination, molecular and structural characterization by spectroscopic techniques, morphology and structural characterization by microscopy and diffraction, and thermal analysis. This edition contains a new chapter on surface analysis as well as some revised problems and solutions. 
The concise treatment of each topic offers even those with little prior knowledge of the subject an accessible source to relevant, simple descriptions in a well-organized format.

Approximately thirty million people suffer from sleep disorders in the U.S. By the middle of this century, according to the National Commission on Sleep Disorder Research, 100 million people will have difficulty with sleep. There is an array of causal factors related to sleep disorders, but the largest single cause is psychological. While scientists look to either physical or mental problems in identifying and treating various types of insomnia and sleep disorders, a few doctors use a more holistic approach by giving equal attention to the interaction between body and mind. Sleep Right, Sleep Tight is unique in its coverage of sleep, because it adds one other essential aspect that is too often overlooked by many therapists: the spiritual. The spiritual component of our human nature has just as vital a role in the state of our health, and often a primary one, as the others. It is too often an overlooked partner of the other two. By including a discussion of the spiritual aspect of our beings, this book offers a fully holistic look at the subject of sleep with the added metaphysical perspective contained in the Edgar Cayce psychic readings. After all is said and done, quality sleep, as with health in general, comes from a proper balance of body, mind, and soul.
