Download or read book Introduction to Polymer Chemistry Second Edition written by Charles E. Carraher Jr. and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-07-08 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first polymer book to receive the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title distinction (2007), Introduction to Polymer Chemistry provided undergraduate students with a much-needed, well-rounded presentation of the principles and applications of natural, synthetic, inorganic, and organic polymers. With an emphasis on the environment and green chemistry and materials, this second edition continues that tradition, offering detailed coverage of natural and synthetic giant molecules, inorganic and organic polymers, elastomers, adhesives, coatings, fibers, plastics, blends, caulks, composites, and ceramics. Using simple fundamentals, the author shows how the basic principles of one polymer group can be applied to all of the other groups. He covers synthesis and polymerization reactions, reactivities, techniques for characterization and analysis, energy absorption and thermal conductivity, physical and optical properties, and practical applications. This edition also addresses environmental concerns and green polymeric materials, including biodegradable polymers and microorganisms for synthesizing materials. Brief case studies are woven within the text as historical accounts to illustrate various developments and the societal and scientific contexts in which these changes occurred. Introduction to Polymer Chemistry, Second Edition remains the premier text for understanding the behavior of polymers while offering new material on environmental science. Building on undergraduate work in foundational courses, the text fulfills the American Chemical Society Committee on Professional Training (ACS CPT) in-depth course requirement. It also provides a test bank with upon qualifying course adoption.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bottom-up" techniques-based self-assembly are always attracting people's interests since this technology provides relatively low economic cost and fast route to construct organized structures at different scales. Considering unprecedented benefits from polymer materials, self-assemblies utilizing polymer building blocks have been extensively studied to achieve diverse hierarchical structures and various attractive properties. However, precise controls of chemical primary structures and compositions and exact constructions of hierarchal ordered structures in synthetic polymers are far from being fully appreciated. In this dissertation, a novel approach has been utilized to construct diverse well-defined nano-building blocks, giant molecules, via conjugating different, and functionalized molecular nanoparticles (MNPs) which are shape- and volume-persistent nano-objects with precise molecular structure and specific symmetry. The representative examples of the three basic categories of giant molecules, "giant polyhedra", "giant surfactants", and "giant shape amphiphiles" were discussed in details. First, a class of precisely defined, nanosized giant tetrahedra was constructed by placing different polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) molecular nanoparticles at the vertices of a rigid tetrahedral framework. Designed symmetry breaking of these giant tetrahedra introduces accurate positional interactions and results in diverse selectively assembled, highly ordered supramolecular lattices including a Frank-Kasper (FK) A15 phase. The FK and quasicrystal phases are originally identified in metal alloys and only sporadically observed in soft matters. It remains unclear how to correlate their stability with the chemical composition and molecular topology in the self-assembling systems. We then for this purpose designed and studied the self-assembly phase transition sequences of four series of hybrid giant surfactants based on hydrophilic POSS cages tethered with one to four polystyrene (PS) tails. With increasing the number of tails, molecular topological variations not only affect phase boundaries in terms of the PS volume fraction, but also open a window to stabilize supramolecular FK and quasicrystal phases in the spherical phase region, demonstrating the critical role of molecular topology in dictating the formation of unconventional supramolecular lattices of "soft" spherical motifs. The FK A15 phase was even surprisingly observed in the giant shape amphiphile molecule, triphenylene-6BPOSS, which has a disk-like flat triphenylene core connected with six hydrophobic POSS cages by sides. Without conical molecular shape, triphenylene-6BPOSS self-assembled and stabilized into supramolecular sphere via p-p interactions through a completely different mechanism with precious two cases. These studies indicate that "bottom-up" self-assemble based on well-defined giant molecules approach can be rather powerful to fabricate usually complicated hierarchical structures and open up a wide field of supramolecular self-assembly with unexpected structure and properties.
