Introduction to Physical Polymer Science

by L.H. Sperling

A revised edition of a classic text Polymers are macromolecules built up by linking large numbers of smaller molecules. Due to their diverse physical properties, polymers have become central to a number of important industries, including plastics, rubber, adhesives, fiber, and paint industries. Introduction to Physical Polymer Science, Third Edition is the definitive reference for polymer researchers. Emphasizing interrelationships between molecular structure and the morphology and mechanical behavior of polymers, the Third Edition incorporates new findings in processing and characterizing polymers. Many new worked examples and study problems have been added. The new material

[Jonnie Enloe]

Elementary but extremely meaningful composition of details of Polymer technology at molecular level and the combination of various components for a multitude of applications. Another book that I use constantly.

[Kelsey]

Not a bad textbook--but definitely not the best. The tables/figures are very helpful.

[Sabeena]

This book should be a staple for anyone looking to understand what polymers are, their properties, uses and applications. extremely comprehensive and clear.
Chapters are organised really well, they don't need to be read all the way through in one direction, you can keep going back to sections that you need in a non linear fashion. An absolutely great reference book.
