Handbook of polymer synthesis characterization and processing This handbook provides polymer industry professionals and researchers in polymer science and technology a single comprehensive handbook summarizing all aspects involved in the polymer production chain. Whereas most books deal with polymer science and technology from only one or two aspects this handbook addresses the major core areas together: polymer synthesis both from the chemistry and the engineering aspects; polymer characterization including chemical physicochemical rheological properties and others; and polymer processing and transformation into final objects The aim of this handbook is to serve as the first source and comprehensive reference to all aspects of interest in the polymer industry.
