Extends coverage of critical topics such as electrical and magnetic properties, rheological properties of polymer melts, and environmental behavior and failure. Discusses liquid crystalline polymers across chapters 6, 15, and 16 for greater breadth and depth of coverage.
Learn how the molecular and intermolecular structures of polymers affect their physical properties, such as strength, flexibility, crystallinity, and melting point. Explore the types and applications of synthetic fibers, such as nylon, polyester, and acrylic.
Polymers range from familiar synthetic plastics such as polystyrene to natural biopolymers such as DNA and proteins that are fundamental to biological structure and function. Polymers, both natural and synthetic, are created via polymerization of many small molecules, known as monomers.
Learn about the molecular weight, degree of polymerization, crystallinity, and other physical properties of polymers. Find out how these properties affect the transition temperature, viscosity, and mechanical behavior of polymers.
Some of the useful properties of various engineering polymers are high strength or modulus to weight ratios (light weight but comparatively stiff and strong), toughness, resilience, resistance to corrosion, lack of conductivity (heat and electrical), color, transparency, processing, and low cost.
23 wrz 2024 · Much of the art in polymer synthesis lies in finding methods for controlling the degree of crystallinity and the glass transition temperature, thereby imparting useful properties to the polymer. In general, polymers can be divided into four major categories, depending on their physical behavior: thermoplastics, fibers, elastomers, and ...
