This book focuses on common types of polymers belonging to theclass of water soluble polymers. It covers a wide range ofapplications: food, cosmetic, medical, lithography and ink jetprinting, agricultural, wastewater cleaning, and oilfield.
The text is arranged according to the chemical constitution ofpolymers and reviews the developments that have taken place in thelast decade. Each chapter follows the same template. A briefintroduction to the polymer type is given and previous monographsand reviews dealing with the topic are listed for quick reference.The text continues with monomers, polymerization, fabricationtechniques, properties, applications, as well as safety issues.
Providing a rather encyclopedic approach to water solublepolymers, the Handbook of Engineering and SpecialtyThermoplastics:
* Presents a listing of suppliers and commercial grades
* Reviews current patent literature, essential for the engineerdeveloping new products
* Contains an extensive tradenames index with information that isfairly unique
* Concludes with an index of acronyms and a general index
The Handbook of Engineering and Specialty Thermoplastics: WaterSoluble Polymers provides a comprehensive reference for chemicalengineers and offers advanced students a textbook for use incourses on chemically biased plastics technology and polymerscience.
