Download or read book Polymer Surfaces and Interfaces written by Manfred Stamm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-26 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In what is an extremely practical and applicable new work, experts provide concise explanations, with examples and illustrations, of the key techniques in this important field. In each case, after basic principles have been reviewed, applications of the experimental techniques are discussed and illustrated with specific examples. Scientists and engineers in research and development will benefit from an application-oriented book that helps them to find solutions to both fundamental and applied problems. They will know that the surfaces and interfaces of polymers play an important role in most of the application areas of polymers, from moulds, foils, and composites, to biomaterials and applications in micro- and nanotechnology.
