A definitive work on ESR and polymer science by today's leading
authorities
The past twenty years have seen extraordinary advances in electron
spin resonance (ESR) techniques, particularly as they apply to
polymeric materials. With contributions from over a dozen of the
world's top polymer scientists, Advanced ESR Methods in Polymer
Research is the first book to bring together all the current trends
in this exciting field into one comprehensive reference.
Part I establishes the fundamentals of ESR, from experimental
techniques to data analysis, and serves as a valuable overview for
the beginning ESR student. Part II introduces the broad range of
ESR applications to polymeric systems, including living radical
polymerization, block copoly-mers, polymer solutions,
ion-containing polymers, polymer lattices, membranes in fuel cells,
degradation, polymer coatings, dendrimers, and conductive polymers.
By exposing readers to the great potential of ESR, the authors hope
to encourage more extensive application of these methods.
