Handbook of Research on Functional Materials

<p><strong>Handbook of Research on Functional Materials: Principles Capabilities and Limitations</strong> covers a broad range of modern materials and provides industry professionals and researchers in polymer science and technology with a single comprehensive book summarizing all aspects involved in the modern materials production chain. The book focuses on industrially important materials analytical techniques and formulation methods with chapters covering step-growth radical and co-polymerization crosslinking and grafting reaction engineering advanced technology applications including conjugated dendritic and nanomaterial polymers and emulsions and characterization methods which includes spectroscopy light scattering and microscopy.</p><p>The book introduces current state-of-the-art technology in modern materials with an emphasis on the rapidly growing technologies. It takes a unique approach by presenting specific materials and then progresses into a discussion of the ways in which these materials and processes are integrated into today’s functioning manufacturing industry. It follows a more quantitative and design-oriented approach than other texts in the market helping readers gain a better understanding of important concepts. Readers will also discover how material properties relate to the process variables in a given process as well as how to perform quantitative engineering analysis of manufacturing processes.</p>
