Whether you are an upper or gradúate level student studying polymer science and engineering or an engineer new to the field of polymers, you will benefit from reading Jhe Elements of Polymer Science and Engineering, Third Edition. Since the publication of the second edition in 1999, the field of polymers has advanced considerably. A key feature of the third edition is the inclusión of new concepts such as polymer nanocomposites and metallocene catalysts in existing chapters, as well as new chapters covering selected contemporary topics such as behavior of natural polymers, polymer dynamics, and diffusion in polymers. The book has been completely reorganized to be better aligned with the way instructors currently teach the subject. In addition, there are several enhancements to the book´s pedagogy that make it more appealing to both instructors and students, including the addition of new worked examples and new figures, to better ¿Ilústrate key concepts, and new of end-of-chapter exercises, many based on recently published research and relevant industrial data
