Introduction to Macromolecular ScienceThis text is designed to be used by undergraduates and new graduate students taking introductory courses in polymer and macromolecular chemistry, as well as chemical engineering. The reader will require some basic calculus, physics and a course in physical chemistry that utilizes calculus and covers thermodynamics, and a basic knowledge of organic chemistry. The book's emphasis is on these core subjects of the macromolecular field, and on a clear and logical development of the basic ideas and arguments in the field. The text will benefit graduates and undergraduates of polymer science, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science. |
