Compositional and Failure Analysis of Polymers: A Practical Approachby John Scheirs (Author) Paperback: 806 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.77 x 9.00 x 6.04 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons; ; 1 edition (September 22, 2000) ISBN: 0471625728 Intended as a practical guide for polymer technologists, engineers and analysts in the plastics, composites and rubber fields, this title describes a range of techniques and strategies for compositional and failure analysis of polymeric materials and products. Numerous examples illustrate the application of analytical methods for solving commonly encountered problems in the polymer industry. The reader is guided towards the most appropriate method of analysis and measurement and the most likely reasons for the failure. 
Condensed Encyclopedia of Polymer Engineering Termsby Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff Hardcover: 368 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.00 x 10.29 x 7.24 Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann; ; (March 30, 2001) ISBN: 0750672102 The main feature of the book is the range of topics from both theory and practice, which means that physical properties and applications of the materials concerned are described in terms of the theory, chemistry and manufacturing constraints which apply to them. It will therefore enable scientists to understand the commercial implications of their work as well as providing polymer technologists, engineers and designers with a theoretical background. 
Encyclopedia of Textile Finishing Set with CD-ROMby H.-K Rouette Hardcover: 3000 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 6.75 x 9.25 x 6.25 Publisher: Springer Verlag; ; Book and CD-ROM edition (December 15, 2001) ISBN: 3540654909 Table of Contents Encyclopedic from A to Z covering - among others - the following subjects of textile engineering: Environmental protection, Colorimetry, Fibre Technology, Dyeing, Printing, Ecology, Machines, Macromolecular Chemistry, Exhaust Air, Physical Chemistry, Process Technology etc. 
Fabric Glossary (2nd Edition)by Mary Humphries Spiral-bound: 293 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.79 x 10.00 x 8.59 Publisher: Prentice Hall; ; 2nd edition (July 19, 1999) ISBN: 0130105740 This dictionary of the world's fabrics illustrates all aspects of fabric production and behavior, including vivid computer scans of actual samples. Coverage identifies hundreds of fabrics by individual characteristics and history, spanning the fiber families; range of fabric weights—sheer to heavy; fabrics classified by end-use categories; and fabric files and samples. For anyone seeking accessible information on how fabrics behave and why. 
Introduction to Physical Polymer Science, 3rd Editionby L. H. Sperling (Author) Hardcover: 720 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.45 x 9.46 x 6.38 Publisher: Wiley-Interscience; ; 3rd edition (April 2001) ISBN: 0471329215 Updated and revised, it focuses on the role of molecular conformation and configuration in determining the physical behavior of polymers. New features include the amorphous and crystalline states of polymers; macromolecular hypothesis and historical development of photophysics and fluorescence; thermodynamics of blending polymers and polymer/polymer phase diagrams; a discussion of rheology plus gelatinous materials; and a variety of contemporary topics emphasizing surface, interfacial and electrical behavior of polymers, nonlinear optics and high temperature substances. Each chapter includes several classroom demonstrations and problem sets. 
Polymer Science and Technologyby Robert Oboigbaotor Ebewele Hardcover: 504 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.27 x 10.33 x 7.32 Publisher: CRC Press; ; (March 23, 2000) ISBN: 0849389399 Textbook for an introductory polymer course, that Ebewele (Engineering, U. of Benin, Nigeria) hopes can replace the several texts usually required to cover all the desired topics. Unlike other textbooks, he includes worked examples and review problems. He begins with polymer fundamentals including historical development, definitions and concepts, and classification. Then he describes how polymers are prepared from monomers and transformed into products, and the solution and mechanical properties and applications. His focus is on the ultimate property of the finished polymer product. 
Principles of Polymerization, 3rd Editionby George Odian (Author) Hardcover: 8 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.40 x 9.53 x 6.37 Publisher: Wiley-Interscience; ; 3 edition (October 18, 1991) ISBN: 0471610208 The number of concepts covered in this book is amazing. You learn something new with each reading. The book is also great for pointing you to the leading references in the field; although it is lacking decent coverage of living polymerization. Odian's book is not easy to read. For a chemistry book it includes relatively few chemical structures or mechanisms... 
Surfactants and Polymers in Aqueous Solutionby Krister Holmberg (Author), Bo Jönsson (Author), Bengt Kronberg (Author), Björn Lindman (Author) Hardcover: 544 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.46 x 8.74 x 6.60 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons; ; 2nd edition (December 2002) ISBN: 0471498831 Surfactants are molecules having two parts: the hydrophilic part attracts water molecules and the hydrophobic part attracts organic molecules such as grease and oil. Polymers are very large organic molecules that can be surfactants. This book offers highly practical coverage of all aspects of surfactants from fundamental properties to molecular interactions in aqueous solutions and advanced numerical models describing the behaviors of polymers and surfactants in solution. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. 
The Elements of Polymer Science & Engineeringby Alfred Rudin, Afred Rudin Hardcover: 509 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.27 x 9.18 x 6.29 Publisher: Academic Press; ; 2nd edition (September 15, 1998) ISBN: 0126016852 Tremendous developments in the field of polymer science, its growing importance, and an increase in the number of polymer science courses in both physics and chemistry departments have led to the revision of the First Edition. This new edition addresses subjects as spectroscopy (NMR), dynamic light scattering, and other modern techniques unknown before the publication of the First Edition. The Second Edition focuses on both theory (physics and chemistry) and engineering applications which make it useful for chemistry, physics, and chemical engineering departments. 
Vinyl Acetate Emulsion Polymerization and Copolymerization with Acrylic Monomersby H. Yildirim Erbil, Y. Erbil Hardcover: 336 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.92 x 9.44 x 6.33 Publisher: CRC Press; ; (March 22, 2000) ISBN: 0849323037 Provides the background for understanding the mechanism and kinetics of emulsion polymerization initiated in the aqueous phase and some of the practical problems of latex production. |
