Conformations : connecting the chemical structures and material behaviors of polymers / by Alan Tonelli and Jialong Shen. - 1 online resource

Polymer physics or why polymers and their materials can behave in unique ways -- Polymer chemistry or the detailed microstructures of polymers -- Determining the microstructural dependent conformational preferences of polymer chains -- Experimental determination of polymer microstructures with 13C-NMR spectroscopy -- Connecting the behaviors/properties of polymer solutions and liquids to the microstructural dependent conformational preferences of their polymer chains -- Connecting the behaviors/properties of polymer solids to the microstructural dependent conformational preferences of their individual polymer chains -- Biopolymer structures and behaviors with comparisons to synthetic polymers.

"The authors provide both the polymer/materials science student and practicing materials engineer a means of understanding the differences in behaviors/properties of materials made from chemically distinct polymers. This knowledge can assist them in designing polymers with chemical structures that lead to their desired material behaviors and properties. The reader will learn how the detailed chemical structures of polymers can be characterized, how their microstructural dependent conformational preferences can be evaluated , and how these conformational preferences can by connected to the behaviors and properties of their materials"--
