Industrial Water-Soluble Polymers by Malcolm Coward

Industrial Water-Soluble Polymers by Malcolm Coward

This book covers the basic science and technology of water-soluble polymers, and will prove a valuable reference for all workers in this field. In addition, it discusses the recent advances and opportunities for development in the industrial (non-food) applications of water-soluble polymers. Developments in water-swellable polymers, which have become major industrial products in the last decade, are also examined. Water-soluble polymers have a wide range of applications, including their use in building products, detergents, paper-making, textile finishing, agricultural mulches, toiletries and other personal care products. This timely book addresses the recently developed and rapidly expanding field of superabsorbent polymers. Chapters also deal with the synthesis and physical behaviour of water-soluble polymers, including their adsorption, gelation and rheology, in order to provide an improved understanding of these properties, leading to the establishment of new applications. Industrial Water-Soluble Polymers is one of the few books that deal with this topical area of materials science. Throughout, the emphasis is placed on specific industrial applications for the science discussed in the book. It will prove an invaluable reference for everyone involved in polymer science and its applications.
