Bøger i Polymer Science and Technology Series serien

The conference "Nonlinear Optics and Optical Computing" was held May 11-19, 1988 in Erice, Sicily.

This book contains a collection of original research papers which were presented in honor of the Bordon Award recipient, Professor Eric Baer, on the occasion of the 55th Meeting of the American Chemical Society (Atlanta, Georgia, March, 1981).

This book originated in the Proceedings of the Second Symposium on Polymeric Liquid Crystals held by the Division of Polymer Chemistry in the framework of the 1983 Fall Meeting of the American Chemical Society.

This book is an extended version of the proceedings of the Symposium on Polymer Composites, Interfaces, which was held under the auspices of the Division of Polymer Chemistry, American Chemical Society (ACS) during the annual ACS meeting in Seattle, March, 1983.

This book is intended for those people who have a knowledge or understanding of rubber materials and processes but who wish to update their knowledge. It should be read in conjunction with Developments in Rubber Technology-l as that volume discussed developments in natural rubber and selected special purpose synthetic rubbers as well as additives.

As a result, a broad coverage of the subject matter includes statistical thermodynamics, surface physics, surface analysis, fracture mechanics, viscoelasticity, failure analysis, surface modification, adsorption kinetics, bio polymer adsorption, etc.

My heart sank when I was approached by Dr Hastings and by Professor Briggs (Senior Editor of Materials Science and Technology and Series Editor of Polymer Science and Technology Series at Chapman & Hall, respectively) to edit a book with the provisional title Handbook of Poly propylene.

This book contains the proceedings of the Symposium on FT-IR Characterization of Polymers, which was held under the auspices of the Division of Polymer Chemistry, American Chemical Society (ACS) during the annual ACS meeting in Philadelphia, August, 1984.

The 20th Century saw an unprecedented emphasis and dependence on nonrenewable resources as energy sources (petroleum, coal, ura nium) and the fabric of technology (drugs, clothing, shelter, tires, computer parts).

The emergence of reaction injection molding (RIM) has been fol lowed by the industry with mounting interest. The book is divided into four parts covering different areas of RIM development. In the last part the engineering and technological aspects of RIM, such as glass reinforcement, mixing, flow and moldability are covered in detail.

Proceedings of an international workshop held in Erice, Sicily, Italy, April 17-30, 1986

Covers novel additives, the established varieties and also considers environmental concerns, interactions between additives and legislative change. This book is suitable for those concerned with plastics and additives.

The art of using chemical agents for medication dates back into antiquity, although most of the earliest examples used plants, herbs, and other natural materials. While some medical agents do indeed possess a relatively high degree of specificity, most agents are far more systemic than would be desired.

The development and use of medical and dental materials are highly interdisciplinary endeavors which require expertise in chemistry, materials science, medicine and/or dentistry, mechanics and design engineering. Also of importance is the requirement that materials used in the prosthesis not have a deleterious effect on body tissues.

Phase transfer catalysis or interfacial catalysis is a syn thetic technique involving transport of an organic or inorganic salt from a solid or aqueous phase into an organic liquid where reaction with an organic-soluble substrate takes place.

As a result, a broad coverage of the subject matter includes statistical thermodynamics, surface physics, surface analysis, fracture mechanics, viscoelasticity, failure analysis, surface modification, adsorption kinetics, bio polymer adsorption, etc.

Proceedings of a Symposium on Recent Developments in Adhesive Chemistry, sponsored by the Divsion of Organic Coatings and Plastics Chemistry of the American Chemical Society, held March 21-23, 1983, in Seattle, Washington

Polymers and polymer based composites have gained increasingly larger applications in medicine and surgery.

Interest in preparing new polymers peaked about 1966. " Interest in preparing new monomers has also waned, even though it is well recognized that monomers with special functionality are greatly needed to fine-tune existing polymers for specific tasks.

Proceedings of an International Symposium on Adhesives, Sealants, and Coatings for Space and Harsh Environments, sponsored by the Division of Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering of the American Chemical Society, held April 7-9, 1987, in Denver, Colorado

This volume represents a continuation of the Polymer Science and Technology series edited by Dr. D. There are already many excellent books on the mechanical properties of polymers, and a somewhat lesser number of volumes dealing with methods of carrying out mechanical tests on polymers.
