Additional Accessibility Information
-
All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
-
The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
-
For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
-
Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
-
Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.

Synthetic Polymer Chemistry provides a comprehensive introduction to polymers and their physical properties, as well as different types of polymerization reactions. The book covers an array of integral topics, from the introduction of polymers and their physical properties, to morphology (crystalline and amorphous phase), and molecular weights measurements and solubility. Different types of polymerization reactions (free radical, cationic, anionic condensation) based on organic reaction mechanisms are also discussed. Users will find this book to be a great resource for students and researchers who want to build a strong foundation of organic chemistry and polymer chemistry.
Topics discussed in this resource will provide an important foundation and understanding that helps readers grasp the materials covered in advanced polymer chemistry. It is ideal for courses in polymer chemistry, organic chemistry, materials science and engineering, and biomedical engineering.
