Structure-Property Relations in Polymers: Spectroscopy and Performance, Vol. 23

Summary: Explores relationships between spectroscopic findings and physical properties of polymers. Thirty-five chapters are divided into six sections covering fundamental concepts in FT-IR, FT-Raman, fluorescence spectroscopy and FT-Mass Spectrometry of polymers; crystalline polymers and copolymers; surfaces and interfaces of polymers; spectroscopic approaches to polymers in solutions and polymer networks; spectroscopy combi...ned with thermally induced processes in polymers; and polymer analysis and surface modifications using non-conventional energy sources. Includes tutorial chapters designed to assist newcomers to the field. [read more]
