About this book

Polymers belong to an essential material group with many applications not only for polymer manufacturers but also in physics, chemistry, medicine and engineering techniques. This volume gives an introduction to the structure and nomenclature of polymers as well as an overview about polymer solids and polymer melts, their properties and the analytical methods for their characterization.
