The final chapter reviews the thermodynamics of reversible polymerization and copolymerization. The author also illustrates biomedical and commercial applications of nanocomposites, the properties of various polymer alloys, Fick’s laws of diffusion and their implications during transient events, and the use of the dynamic programming method in the sequence alignment of DNA and proteins. It discusses Hansen fractional solubility parameter values, six phase diagram types, the role of polymer architecture in phase behavior, and the mathematical framework for multiple glass transition temperatures found in partially miscible polymer blends. It uses the binary interaction model to predict the compositional window of miscibility for copolymer/homopolymer blends and blends of copolymers and terpolymers with common monomers.
Characteristic values are given in tables.
The book presents nine EOS theories, including some that take into account molecular weight effects. Using equation of state (EOS) theories, thermodynamic models, and information from physical properties, it illustrates the construction of phase envelopes. The book covers the binary interaction model, the solubility parameter approach, and the entropic difference model. Polymer Thermodynamics: Blends, Copolymers and Reversible Polymerization describes the thermodynamic basis for miscibility as well as the mathematical models used to predict the compositional window of miscibility and construct temperature versus volume-fraction phase diagrams. The information in these two volumes will be useful to all those involved in polymer research, development, analysis and advanced process engineering.ĭownload Polymer Thermodynamics Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle As a result, the most important physical and mechanical characteristics of blends can be identified. Thermodynamic behavior of blends determines the compatibility of the components, their morphological features, rheological behavior, and microphase structures. These Books are dedicated to Analysis of the Thermodynamics of Polymer Blends. Because of the great current commercial interest in this most dynamic sector of the polymer industry, there is high interest in studying their physical and mechanical properties, their structures, and the processes of their formation and manufacture. These two volumes show the researcher how thermodynamics can be used to rank polymer pairs in order of immiscibility, including the search for suitable chemical structure of compatibilizers. Thermodynamics is an indispensable tool for developing a large and growing fraction of new polymers and polymer blends. Download Thermodynamics of Polymer Blends Volume I Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
