Block Copolymers

Beschreibung

Polymers may be classified as either homopolymers, consisting ofone single repeating unit, or copolymers, consisting of two or moredistinct repeating units. Block copolymers contain long contiguousblocks of two or more repeating units in the same polymer chain.Covering one of the hottest topics in polymer chemistry, BlockCopolymers provides a coherent overview of the synthetic routes,physical properties, and applications of block copolymers. This pioneering text provides not only a guideline for developingsynthetic strategies for creating block copolymers with definedcharacteristics, but also a key to the relationship between thephysical properties of block copolymers and the structure anddynamics of materials. Covering features of the chemistry andphysics of block copolymers that are not found in comparable texts,Block Copolymers illustrates the structure-activity relationship ofblock copolymers and offers suggestions for the design of specificapplications. Divided into five sections-Block Copolymersincludes chapters on: * Block Copolymers by Chemical Modification of PrecursorPolymers * Nonlinear Block Copolymers * Adsorption of Block Copolymers at Solid-Liquid Interfaces * Theory of Block Copolymer Segregation * Phase Transformation Kinetics * Block Copolymer Morphology * Block Copolymer Dynamics Polymer chemists, physicists, chemical engineers, and materialsscientists, as well as graduate students in polymer science, willfind Block Copolymers to be an invaluable text.

"...sections devoted to block copolymer synthesis and dynamicsclearly justify its purchase..." (Advanced Materials, Vol16(4), 17 February 2004) "...a review...which is a welcome addition to the literature onblock copolymers..." (Polymer International, Vol 53(2), Feb2004) "...a text of high quality worthy of being recommended forpolymer science libraries as well as acquisition by investigatorsin this field." (Polymer News) "...a very important and timely review...this outstandingcontribution to the polymer science literature belongs in anylibrary...highly recommended." (Choice, Vol. 40, No. 10,June 2003) "This pioneering text provides not only a guideline fordeveloping synthetic strategies for creating block copolymers withdefined characteristics, but also a key to the relationship betweenthe physical properties...and the structure and dynamics ofmaterials." (Apollit Database)"...presents an interesting new approach to one of the most activeresearch areas...3 co-authors offer a good balance ofexpertise...outline demonstrates a good grasp of the importantareas and organization seems logical..." "I am not aware of any modern text which covers the breadth ofproposed topics as in the present work." --Professor EdwinThomas, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
