Source Book Of Experimental Techniques And Analysis Of Polymeric Materials

This book serves as a comprehensive laboratory guide to polymer science, bridging theoretical foundations with hands-on experimental practice. As the first installment of a four-volume series, it focuses on synthesizing polymers and biomaterials, and on the analytical techniques for their identification. The series collectively spans the full scope of polymeric materials, including testing and characterization (Volume 2), rheology and processing (Volume 3), and degradation and recycling (Volume 4). All experiments are described according to ASTM industry standards, covering polymer types from plastics and rubbers to fibers, blends, and composites. Each volume opens with an overview of its topic and emphasizes practical applications. Undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as research scholars, will find this book to be an accessible guide and a comprehensive resource, providing a holistic understanding of experimental techniques in polymer science.
