Characterization Of Polymer Blends - Miscibility, Morphology And Interfaces

This is the first book devoted to all aspects of characterization of polymer blends using a wide range of state-of-the-art techniques. Providing comprehensive, systematic coverage in a two-volume resource suitable for all those working on polymer blends, in an in-depth and practical manner.

Compiled by leading researchers from industry, academy, government and private research institutions across the globe, this application oriented book details all major modern characterization techniques, from microscopies, spectroscopies, and chromatography, to rheology, thermal analysis and theory and assists the reader find solutions to both fundamental and applied problems.
