Macromolecular Engineering Complete and Thorough Resource on Macromolecular Engineering for Researchers and Industry Professionals This book covers the entire field of macromolecular engineering, from design and preparation of well-defined macromolecules, to precise characterization, all the way to optimization for specific functions and applications. It provides background information, comparative advantages and limitations, the most recent advances of numerous synthetic approaches, characterization techniques, and potential applications. The second edition has been completely updated and edited by a world-class team of editors led by K. Matyjaszewski. Sample topics covered within the work include: Synthetic tools to precisely control various aspects of macromolecular structure including chain composition, microstructure, functionality, and topology Modern characterization techniques at the molecular and macroscopic level for various properties of well-defined (co)polymers in solution, bulk and at surfaces The correlation of molecular structure with macroscopic properties additionally affected by processing Self-healing polymers, renewable resources, photopolymerization, click chemistry, organocatalysis, hierarchical self-assembly, nanocarbon, and ionic liquids Polymer chemists and engineers, materials scientists, and professionals in the plastics and pharmaceutical industries will be able to use Macromolecular Engineering as a completely comprehensive reference work to understand macromolecular engineering and its many practical applications.

From Precise Synthesis to Macroscopic Materials and Applications

Macromolecular Engineering, 5 Volume Set

Michel Fontanille

Organic and Physical Chemistry of Polymers provides a thorough introduction to the fundamentals of polymers, including their structure and synthesis as well as their chemical and physical properties. This accessible guide illuminates the increasingly important role of polymers in modern chemistry, beginning with the essentials, then covering thermodynamics, conformation, morphology, and measurements of molar masses; polymerization mechanisms, reaction of polymers, synthesis of block and graft polymers, and complex topologies; and the mechanical properties, rheology, polymer processing, and fabrication of fibers and films.
