Polymer Chemistry: An Introduction

By Brent Burton

The polymerization process of monomers leads to the formation of a large macromolecule known as a polymer. Polymer chemistry is the specialized area of chemistry concerned with the chemical synthesis, physical and chemical traits, and structure of macromolecules and polymers. This field predominantly engages with synthetic and organic compositions. Commercial materials and products like plastics and rubbers heavily rely on synthetic polymers. They also constitute significant components of composite materials. Various techniques employed in this domain include cell-free protein synthesis, polycondensation, free-radical polymerization, protein biosynthesis, and ionic polymerization. This book explores all the important aspects of polymer chemistry in the present day scenario. It elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach. It is designed to provide deep insights about the subject to the readers.
