Description

The scientific field that is concerned with the chemical synthesis, structure, and the physical and chemical properties of polymers and macromolecules is known as polymer chemistry. Its principles and methods are also applicable in a variety of sub-disciplines of chemistry such as organic chemistry, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry. On the basis of their origin, polymers are subdivided into biopolymers and synthetic polymers. The functional and structural materials that make most of the organic matter in organisms are biopolymers. Synthetic polymers are the structural materials that are manifested in synthetic fibers, paints, building materials, furniture, plastics, mechanical parts and adhesives. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of polymer chemistry. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
