Crystallization of Polymers
This new edition of Volume 2 of Leo Mandelkern's self-contained work is an up-to-date, authoritative account of the kinetics and mechanisms of polymer crystallization. Progressing from the equilibrium concepts presented in volume 1, it provides a comprehensive treatment of the surrounding theories and experimental results from simple to complex polymer systems. The volume will be an invaluable reference work for all chemists, physicists and materials scientists working in the area of polymer crystallization.
- Volume 2 of a 3 volume set that will be the most up-to-date and comprehensive work in the area of polymer crystallization
- Theoretical and experimental approaches utilised in the determination of polymer crystallization kinetics are objectively discussed
- Unified treatment of both synthetic and naturally occurring polymers
Reviews & endorsements
"The book is a result of dedicated effort and original research of the author and his colleagues over many years and will serve the polymer community well for a long time. The book will be most useful as a reference resource for people in academia as well as in industry." - Polymer News, N. Sanjeeva Murthy, University of Vermont
