L. Chung Publisher: CRC Press URL: /http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=so ngstech-20&path=ASIN%2F0849310733 Summary: Materials are the foundation of technology. As such, most universities provide engineering undergraduates with the fundamental concepts of materials science, including crystal structures, imperfections, phase diagrams, materials processing, and materials properties. Few, however, offer the practical, applications- oriented background that their students need to succeed in industry.Applied Materials Science: Applications of Engineering Materials in Structural, Electronics, Thermal, and Other Industries fills that gap. From a cross-disciplinary perspective that reflects both the multifunctionality of many materials and the wide scope industrial needs, the author examines the practical applications of metal, ceramic, polymer, cement, carbon, and composite materials across a broad range of industries. The topics addressed include electronic packaging, smart materials, thermal management, nondestructive evaluation, and materials development. The text is clear, coherent, and tutorial in style, includes numerous up-to-date references, and provides background material in a series of appendices.Unique in its breadth of coverage of both materials and their applications, Applied Materials Science is both scientifically rich and technologically relevant. If you work or teach those that aspire to work in an engineering capacity, you will find no text or reference that better prepares its readers for real-world applications of engineering materials ~ Thermodynamics of Systems Containing Flexible-Chain Polymers Summary: This book deals with the problems of the thermodynamics of systems containing flexible-chain polymers as the basis of polymer material science. The main thermodynamic quantities and concepts are introduced and discussed in the order of the objects getting more and more complicated: gases, magnets, low- molecular-weight substances and mixtures, and finally, polymers and polymer blends. All topics are considered in a common clue, using the principle of universality. The stability conditions for the one-phase state of multi-component systems are given. Phase separation is regarded as a result of loss in stability. The critical state of a system, with the one-phase state being close to the boundary of stability conditions breaking, is discussed in detail. The effects of both light scattering (elastic and dynamic) and diffusion, as directly depending on the thermodynamic parameters characterizing the one-phase state stability, are considered in detail. One of the versions of colloid scattering, namely, the turbidity spectrum method, is described as useful for the characterization of various heterogeneous structures and for the phase analysis of polymer systems. In the approximation of mean field theories and advanced field theory, formalisms expound the following divisions of the thermodynamics of binary and polynary systems with flexible- chain polymers: conformation of the polymer coil, composition fluctuations, elastic and dynamic light scattering, diffusion in the one-phase state (including the critical range), phase separation, polymer fractionation, the coil-globule transition, phase equilibrium and separation in the system network polymer + low- molecular-weight liquid, polymer blends and multiphase separation ~ Excluded Volume Effects in Polymer Solutions ISBN: 3540655131 Schäfer gives a concise overview of the static equilibrium properties of polymer solutions. In the first part diagrammatic perturbation theory is derived from scratch. The second part illustrates the basic ideas of the renormalization group (RG). The crucial role of dilation invariance is stressed. The more efficient method of dimensional regularization and minimal subtractions is worked out in part three. The fourth part contains a unified evaluation of the theory to the one loop level. All the important experimental quantities are discussed in detail, and the results are compared extensively to experiment. Empirical methods of data analysis are critically discussed. The final (fifth) part is devoted to extensions of theory. The first three parts of this book may serve as the basis of a course. Parts four and five are hoped to be useful for detailed quantitative evaluations of experiments. Book Info Provides a concise overview of the static equilibrium properties of polymer solutions. Discusses, in detail, all the important experimental quantities and extensively compares the results to the experimental and the empirical methods of data analysis.

Hiemenz Publisher: CRC Publication Date: 1984-02-28 Number Of Pages: 752 Average Amazon Rating: 4.0 physical chemistry has been defined as that branch of science that is fundamental, molecular, and interesting. I have tried to write a polymer textbook that could be described this way also. To the extent that one subscribes to the former definition and that I have succeeded in the latter objective, then the approach of this book is physical chemical. As a textbook, it is intended for students who have completed courses in physical and organic chemistry. These are the prerequisites which define the level of the book; no special background in physics or mathematics beyond what is required for physical chemistry is assumed. Since chemistry majors generally study physical chemistry in the third year of the undergraduate curriculum, this book can serve as the text for a senior-level undergraduate or a beginning graduate-level course. Although I use chemistry courses and chemistry curricula to describe the level of this book, students majoring in engineering, materials science, physics, and various specialties in the biological sciences will also find numerous topics of interest contained herein. Terms like "fundamental," "molecular," and "interesting" have different meanings for different people. Let me explain how they apply to the presentation of polymer chemistry in this text. The words "basic concepts" in the title define what I mean by "fundamental." This is the primary emphasis in this presentation. Practical applications of polymers are cited frequently—after all, it is these applications that make polymers such an important class of chemicals—but in overall content, the stress is on fundamental principles. "Foundational" might be another way to describe this. I have not attempted to cover all aspects of polymer science, but the topics that have been discussed lay the foundstion—built on the bedrock of organic and physical chemistry—from which virtually all aspects of the subject are developed. There is an enormous literature in polymer science; this book is intended to bridge the gap between the typical undergraduate background in polymers—which frequently amounts to little more than occasional "relevant" examples in other courses—and the professional literature on the subject ~ Introduction to Rubber Technology Book Properties ISBN: 1859571506 Title: Introduction to Rubber Technology Author: Andrew Ciesielski Publisher: Rapra Technology Ltd Publication Date: 1999-01 Number Of Pages: 160 Average Amazon Rating Editorial Description An Introduction to Rubber Technology is the ideal basic guide for anyone who is about to start working with rubber.
