Principles of Polymer Systems 5th Edition Summary

Principles of Polymer Systems 5th Edition by Ferdinand Rodriguez

The Fifth Edition of Principles of Polymer Systems has been completely revised and updated. The chemical engineering perspective has been retained and strengthened, and the broad applications of polymers in chemistry and materials science have been addressed. The theoretical basis for various topics has been deepened and strengthened and several new topics are addressed. These changes reflect the rapidly growing recognition by all scientists and engineers of the role polymers play in industry. Electronics and medicine are representative areas that require more than a passing knowledge of macromolecular principles. Both areas receive attention in this edition. The end-of-chapter problems in the book have been completely replaced with the new problems. A solutions manual will be available to qualified instructors.

Principles of Polymer Systems 5th Edition Reviews

"This book is highly recommended to undergraduate and graduate students, to chemists and engineers working in different polymer fields.."
-D.Feldman, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, "Polymer News, September 2003
"This new edition of this classic and highly affordable volume deserves a place in any university or corporate library whose users research, fabricate, or test polymers. ...The book provides a nice balance between an explanation of fundamentals, solution and solid state properties, processing and methods of characterization. Throughout, the book maintains a focus on industrial polymers and effectively covers the entire life cycle of modern polymer materials. Appendixes, particularly valuable for graduate students, not only list the typical properties reported for some major industrial polymers used for molding extrusion or fiber making, but also provide ASTM test methods used. Summing up: Highly recommended.
."
-P.G. Heiden, Michigan Technological University, CHOICE, March 2004
