Schematic illustrations are provided here of typical amorphous random coil (top) and semicrystalline (bottom) morphologies of thermoplastic polymers. Atactic polystyrene and bisphenol-A polycarbonate …

Although a polymeric molecule is extremely large, it is nevertheless finite, and the molecular chain must eventually terminate. The chemical entities that bond to the ends of a polymer molecule are called …

Abstract: This special issue “Polymeric Materials: Surfaces, Interfaces and Bioapplications” was proposed to cover all the aspects related to recent innovations on surfaces, interfaces and …

Polymer materials are high-molecular-weight compounds, which are synthesized by a series of chemical reactions. These polymer materials are more widely used in the market, and depending on their …

Chapter One Introduction of Polymeric Materials 1.1 General Introduction and Its Scope ls without which the life seems very difficult. They are all around us in everyday use; in rubber, in plastic,

Polymeric materials can be broadly classified into several types based on their chemical structure, synthesis methods, and properties.
