Summary
The Elements of Polymer Science and Engineering, Fourth Edition updates on the field of polymers, which has advanced considerably since the book’s last publication. A key feature of this new edition is the inclusion of new and updated content on such concepts as multifunctional polymers, bioderived polymers, computation modeling, polymer sustainability, and newer manufacturing methods like 3D printing. Improvements to the book’s pedagogy include the addition of more worked examples, more end-of-chapter problems, and new figures to better illustrate key concepts. This book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, and anyone in related courses. This edition has also been reorganized to become more aligned with how instructors currently teach the course. It is ideal for one- or two-semester introductory courses in polymer science and engineering taught primarily to senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students in a variety of disciplines, but primarily chemical engineering and materials science.
