Essentials of Polymer Science and Engineering
I love the impact of the color...most texts about polymers are DULL looking and thus don t encourage student readership. The problem sets are great. I definitely plan to adopt this text. Thanks for a new outlook on plastics! --Robert Chasnov, Professor of Engineering and Assistant to the Chair, Cedarville UniversityThe book finally arrived some weeks ago. I inspected it and I am fascinated. I ve never seen a polymer textbook like this. On the one hand it is perfect to motivate young students to get involved into polymer science, on the other hand it goes enough into depth to give master students all they will need in polymer science before specializing in a single topic. For the somewhat more dire European taste it might be just a tick too colorful, but that s ok with me! I will certainly recommend it to my students both in bachelor and master courses (this winter it is a master course). It is a pity it is not available in German! --Prof. Axel Mueller, Dean, Faculty of Biology, Chemistry and Earth Sciences, University of Bayreuth, GermanyWe especially liked the two-column layout, colour diagrams and the processing section. This text will be very useful for both students and our industry-based courses. --Neil Edmonds: Director, Polymers and Coatings Science, University of Auckland; Peter Plimmer: Senior research fellow in Materials, University of AucklandThe book finally arrived some weeks ago.
