This series provides a comprehensive collection of reference handbooks on all
aspects around polymers and polymeric composites. Polymeric materials of all
sorts have been emerging as key materials for many applications and for meeting
the challenges of the twenty-first century. From commodity applications to engineering and high tech applications, even including aerospace subsystems, these
materials have an important role to play. The study of polymeric and polymeric
composite materials is one of the most important and of the most vibrant focus areas
in chemical and material scientific research. “Polymers and Polymeric Composites:
A Reference Series” compiles the most comprehensive reference handbooks on
these materials under one roof. Readers will find all they need to know in wellorganized and thoroughly structured reference works covering various topics, such
as the structures and properties of polymers, polymeric materials and composites
(e.g. structures of amorphous and of crystalline polymers, viscoelastic properties,
mechanical and thermal properties, and many more); methods and methodology
(including polymer characterization, polymerization reaction engineering, polymer
processing, and many more); or different compound classes (from polymer additives, polymer blends, and fiber reinforced composites, to liquid crystalline polymers, nano-polymers and nano-polymeric composites, and even bio-polymeric
materials). While each volume is dedicated to a selected topic, concisely structured
and thoroughly edited by experts, with contributions written by leading scientists,
the complete collection provides the most comprehensive and most complete overview over the entire field of polymers and polymeric composites. Volumes in this
series serve as reference compilation for every scientist working with or on polymers, polymeric materials and composites, whether at universities or in industry,
from graduate student level to practitioners and lead scientists alike.
