The Elements of Polymer Science & Engineering 3rd Edition


The Elements of Polymer Science and Engineering 3rd Edition by Alfred Rudin and Phillip Choi focuses on applications of polymer chemistry, engineering, and technology. This text explains terminology, applications, and versatility of synthetic polymers. It connects polymerization chemistry with engineering applications.

This book contains practical lead-ins to emulsion polymerization, viscoelasticity, and polymer rheology. A key feature of the third edition is the inclusion of new concepts in existing chapters as well as new chapters covering selected contemporary topics such as behavior of natural polymers, polymer nanocomposites, and use of polymers in nanotechnology.

There are also several enhancements to the book's pedagogy, including the addition of numerous worked examples and new figures to better illustrate key concepts and the addition of a large number of end-of-chapter exercises, many of which are based on recently published research and relevant industrial data.
