Books by Michael M. Coleman

Offers tools for the analysis, prediction and creation of various polymer blends, an area of commercial potential. This book explores and describes the use of association models to treat hydrogen bonding in polymer mixtures, illustrating its broad utility. It adapts this approach to a description of the phase behavior of polymer mixtures.

Starts with a description of the types of microstructures found in polymer materials. This text then deals with chain conformation, structure and morphology, leading to a discussion of crystallization, melting and glass transition. It also features schematics and other figures to illustrate key concepts and aspects of polymeric materials.
