Atlas of Polymer Structures. Morphology, Deformation and Fracture Structures

Structure and morphology determine the properties of polymeric materials. Using high-quality micrographs, this comprehensive atlas shows the structural/morphological diversity of all classes of plastics. It covers all microscopic techniques from light microscopy through scanning and transmission electron microscopy to atomic force microscopy and focuses on the changes in plastics morpholology occurring under mechanical stress. The extensive visual materials help both students and professionals to determine structure-property correlations of polymeric materials
