DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c83958) has announced the
addition of "Organic and Physical Chemistry of Polymers" to their
offering.

   This book provides a thorough introduction to the fundamentals of
polymer science, including their structure and synthesis as well as
their chemical and physical properties. Covering a wide spectrum of
modern polymer science, the book discusses such topics as: the
structure of polymers, thermodynamics, conformation, morphology,
measurements of molar masses, polymerization mechanisms, reactions of
polymers, block and graft polymers, complex topologies, as well as
mechanical properties, rheology, fabrication, molding, fibers, films,
and various classes of industrially important polymers.

   Key Features:

   - Emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of polymers, and
stresses the link between their synthesis and their
structure/properties

   - Covers both molecular and supramolecular aspects of polymer
chemistry

   - Foreword by Nobel Prize-winner Jean-Marie Lehn

   Key Topics

   - Introduction.

   - Cohesive energies of polymeric systems.

   - Molecular structure of polymers.

   - Thermodynamics of Macromolecular Systems.

   - Conformational structures and morphologies.

   - Determination of molar masses and study of conformations and
morphologies by physical methods.

   - Step-growth polymerizations.

   - Chain polymerizations.

   - Reactivity and chemical modification of polymers.

   - Macromolecular synthesis.

   - Thermo-mechanical properties of polymers.

   - Mechanical properties of polymers.

   - Rheology, Formulation and Polymer Processing Techniques.

   - Natural and artificial polymers.

   - Linear (monodimensional) synthetic polymers.

   - Three-dimensional synthetic polymers.
