Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This authoritative, widely cited book has been used all over the world. Properties of Polymers, Fourth Edition incorporates the latest developments in the field while maintaining the core objectives of previous editions: to correlate properties with chemical structure and to describe methods that permit the estimation and prediction of numerical properties from chemical structure, i.e. nearly all properties of the solid, liquid, and dissolved states of polymers.

• Extends coverage of critical topics such as electrical and magnetic properties, rheological properties of polymer melts, and environmental behavior and failure
• Discusses liquid crystalline polymers across chapters 6, 15, and 16 for greater breadth and depth of coverage
• Increases the number of supporting illustrations from approximately 250 (in the previous edition) to more than 400 to further aid in visual understanding

Informazioni sugli autori

Dirk Willem van Krevelen (8 November 1914, Rotterdam – 27 October 2001, Arnhem) was a prominent Dutch chemical engineer, coal and polymer scientist. He successfully combined an industrial career, managing a research division at DSM, and an academic one, as a professor of Delft Technical College. His contributions spanned a wide range of research fields, and his name is linked to the van Krevelen–Hoftyzer diagram for chemical gas absorption, the Mars–van Krevelen mechanism for catalytic oxidation reactions, the van Krevelen–Chermin method to estimate the free energy of organic compounds, the van Krevelen diagram that is used in coal and coal processes, the van Krevelen method to calculate additive properties of polymers, and the van Krevelen–Hoftyzer relationship on the viscosity of polymer fluids. He authored numerous scientific publications and several classic monographs, amongst which are Coal: Typology, Chemistry, Physics, Constitution and Properties of Polymers: Correlations with Chemical Structure. His name is retained in the author listing for the planned fifth edition for this book out of tribute to his vast contribution with the blessing of his son Laurens van Krevelen.

Klaas te Nijenhuis is a retired Dutch physical chemist and researcher. His achievements include research into the viscoelasticity of thermoreversible polymer networks. He was a Researcher at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands from 1966 to 1979, then Lecturer from 1979 to 1986 and finally Associate Professor from 1986 until his retirement in 2003. He played a critical role in updating the book for its fourth edition and has kindly offered support and feedback to the new authors for this new fifth edition.
