Spectroscopy of Polymers by JACK L. KOENIG Department of Macromolecular Science Case Western Reserve University
A
t last—the definitive resource for scientists, engineers, and graduate students in polymer science on the primary spectroscopic methods of polymer characterization that continues where introductory-level texts end.
Spectroscopy of Polymers was written for those whose knowledge of polymer chemistry includes some familiarity with the basic vibrational and resonance spectroscopic methods, but who have limited experience in applying the modern techniques of FTIR, Raman, and/or NMR spectroscopy. The book provides a solid background in the fundamental aspects and experimental applications of the primary spectroscopic methods and their advantages and disadvantages for particular polymer systems. It brings both professional and student up-to-date on the current techniques and facilitates communication with others in the field. Throughout the eleven chapters of this book, Koenig provides clear, concise examples to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the various vibrational and NMR techniques and offers the reader practical knowledge of how to select the most appropriate solutions to polymer structure problems. Numerous illustrations accompany both text and examples.
