TextPublication details: Hoboken, New Jersey : Wiley-Interscience, c2003Edition: Second editionDescription: xvi, 483 pages : illustrations, 24 cmISBN: 0471273996 (Hb.)Subject(s): Polymers | PlasticsLOC classification: QD381 | .C37 2003Summary:
"The book begins with essential, conceptual basics, assuming no prior scientific knowledge whatsoever, then moves swiftly to apply these fundamentals to real-world materials. The majority of the text addresses material concepts and their various applications. A pictorial approach is employed throughout. The author uses sweeping, striking drawings, pictures, and figures to explain why particular giant molecules behave the way they do, and why some, for example, are suitable to the human genome while others are used to construct bulletproof vests. Each chapter contains a glossary, bibliography, and questions and answers for the reader's reference."--Jacket.
