Maintaining a balance between depth and breadth, the Sixth Edition of Principles of Polymer Systems continues to present an integrated approach to polymer science and engineering. A classic text in the field, the new edition offers a comprehensive exploration of polymers at a level geared toward upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Revisions to the sixth edition include: <ul>
<li>A more detailed discussion of crystallization kinetics, strain-induced crystallization, block copolymers, liquid crystal polymers, and gels</li> <li>New, powerful radical polymerization methods</li> <li>Additional polymerization process flow sheets and discussion of the polymerization of polystyrene and poly(vinyl chloride)</li> <li>New discussions on the elongational viscosity of polymers and coarse-grained bead-spring molecular and tube models</li> <li>Updated information on models and experimental results of rubber elasticity</li> <li>Expanded sections on fracture of glassy and semicrystalline polymers</li> <li>New sections on fracture of elastomers, diffusion in polymers, and membrane formation</li> <li>New coverage of polymers from renewable resources</li> <li>New section on X-ray methods and dielectric relaxation</li> </ul>
All chapters have been updated and out-of-date material removed. The text contains more theoretical background for some of the fundamental concepts pertaining to polymer structure and behavior, while also providing an up-to-date discussion of the latest developments in polymerization systems. Example problems in the text help students through step-by-step solutions and nearly 300 end-of-chapter problems, many new to this edition, reinforce the concepts presented.

The Fifth Edition of Principles of Polymer Systems has been completely revised and updated. The chemical engineering perspective has been retained and strengthened, and the broad applications of polymers in chemistry and materials science have been addressed. The theoretical basis for various topics has been deepened and strengthened and several new topics are addressed. These changes reflect the rapidly growing recognition by all scientists and engineers of the role polymers play in industry. Electronics and medicine are representative areas that require more than a passing knowledge of macromolecular principles. Both areas receive attention in this edition. The end-of-chapter problems in the book have been completely replaced with the new problems. A solutions manual will be available to qualified instructors.
