ABOUT THE BOOK

This book is designed for students adopting polymer chemistry as their Discipline Specific Elective (DSE ) course and includes the following topics : fundamentals of polymers including classification and nomenclature, molecular weights of the polymers and their determination, functionally and Carothers equation, conformation and isomerism in polymers, morphology of polymers, thermal transitions and viscoelastic behaviour of polymers, polymer solutions: kinetics of six different polymerization modes, technicalities of large scale polymer formation, structure preparation and properties . The test is supplemented with 150+in-chapter problems both theoretical and numerical, the details solutions to which are provided. The book also features a total of 250+ end of chapter problems. A compilation of 200 multiple-choice questions ( along with answer key ) is provided of facilitate preparations relating to various competitive examinations.
