The Chemistry of Polymers
The Chemistry of Polymers by John W. Nicholson is a well-regarded introductory text that offers a broad and accessible overview of polymer science, blending theory, applications, and recent developments. It is structured for early-career scientists, engineers, and students learning polymer chemistry for the first time .
Key topics include:
Fundamental concepts and polymerization mechanisms
Polymer structure and degrees of polymerization
Crosslinking and network structures
Behavior in solutions (viscosity, osmotic pressure)
Methods for determining molar mass
Mechanical properties and degradation pathways
Dendrimer chemistry and environmental considerations
Recent advances: RAFT, ATRP, ROMP, dendrimers, coordination polymers, and applications like lithium polymer batteries
