Physical Polymer Science 4th Edition with Principles Polymerization 4th Edition Set

Odian's Principles of Polymerization:The new edition of this classic textbook describes the physical andorganic chemistry of the reactions that produce polymers. Threeprimary features distinguish this book from the competition: 1)each topic is prefaced with a thorough discussion at the elementarylevel, assuming at most only a limited background in physical andorganic chemistry. 2) the presentation and writing are geared forthe student. 3) each topic is subsequently considered at anadvanced level, allowing both the novice and more accomplishedstudent to achieve an advanced understanding of polymersynthesis.Sperling's Introduction to Physical Polymer Science:This classic textbook provides a thorough introduction to the areaof physical polymer science, emphasizing interrelationships betweenmolecular structure and the morphology and mechanical behavior ofpolymers. New to the fourth edition are sections on: controlleddrug delivery with biopharmaceutical polymers, nanotechnology-basedmaterials, the 3D structure and function of biopolymers (as well asthe use of optical tweezers), friction and wear in polymers,kinetics of crystallization, mechanical behavior of biomedicalpolymers, glass transition behavior of thin films, light-emittingpolymers and electroactive materials, fire retardancy, interfacesof polymeric biomaterials with living organisms, polymerself-assembly, and much more.
