Materials Science of Polymers For Engineers

Materials Science of Membranes for Gas and Vapor Separation is a one-stop reference for the latest advances in membrane-based separation and technology. Put together by an international team of contributors and academia, the book focuses on the advances in both theoretical and experimental materials science and engineering, as well as progress in membrane technology. Special attention is given to comparing polymer and inorganic/organic separation and other emerging applications such as sensors.

This book provides comprehensive coverage on the latest developments of research in the ever-expanding area of polymers and advanced materials and their applications to broad scientific fields including physics, chemistry, biology, and materials. It presents physical principles in explaining and rationalizing polymeric phenomena.

This text deals with the processing of polymers. Each volume in the series explores the properties, processing, applications, or general phenomena associated with these materials.
Polymer processing has a profound effect on the final properties and thus the applications of plastics. Leading international scientists and engineers have contributed to this unique self-contained handbook, making it indispensable to polymer scientists and engineers…

Scattering is a very powerful tool to study the structure of polymers. Recent technical developments have strongly enhanced the possible applications of this technique, overcoming previous limitations.
