Infos

Following an introduction which explores the origin of the superficial properties of polymers and their dynamic aspects, this study examines the methods that characterize polymer surfaces. It also deals with techniques able to modify polymer surface properties, and applicative aspects.

As the use and applications of polymers increase, so does the interactions of polymer surfaces with other materials. This updated paperback edition of this well-received, popular book presents a comprehensive approach to all aspects of polymer surfaces, from fundamental theory through applications, making it essential reading for everyone studying or working with polymers. - From the Reviews of the Cloth Edition "...both informative and a pleasure to read...the favorable reaction derives from the volume's organization and presentation of its material to ensure maximum utility." Polymer News - Divided into four comprehensive sections: physical principles of polymer surfaces, characterization, modifications of properties, and applications. - Includes the most recent patent information.
