Description

The Nile on eBay Chain Mobility and Progress in Medicine, Pharmaceuticals, and Polymer Science and Technology by George Wypych Chain movement, chain mobility, segmental mobility, segmental dynamics, chain orientation are the primary subjects of this monograph having utmost importance in polymer science and technology, medicine, pharmaceutical, and many other applications. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Chain Mobility and Progress in Medicine, Pharmaceuticals, and Polymer Science and Technology covers the core fundamentals and applications of chain movement, chain mobility, segmental mobility, segmental dynamics, and chain orientation in polymer science, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and other disciplines. The book starts by defining principal terms, then looks at the work of Pierre-Gilles de Gennes and his 1991 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on polymer-chain motion. From there the book discusses the different mechanisms of chain motion of macromolecular substances, the conditions under which chains move, and the effects of these movements on properties of materials, such as chain alignment, chain orientation, creation of free volume, dimensional stability, and more. The final chapters provide insight on analytical methods of chain movement, chain movement phenomena in different polymers, and various fields of application. All concepts, findings, and applications are discussed in easy-to-understand language stripped of disciplinary slang, making the book accessible to researchers and practitioners across a variety of scientific fields. Author Biography George Wypych has a Ph.D. in chemical engineering. His professional expertise includes both university teaching (full professor) and research and development. He has published 18 books, 47 scientific papers, and he has obtained 16 patents. He specializes in polymer additives, polymer processing and formulation, material durability and the development of sealants and coatings. Table of Contents 1. Introduction.

Comparison of justification of Nobel Prize by the selection committee with actual results of research reported Long Description Chain movement, chain mobility, segmental mobility, segmental dynamics, chain orientation are the primary subjects of this monograph having utmost importance in polymer science and technology, medicine, pharmaceutical, and many other applications. Nobel Prize committee awarded in 1991 Nobel Prize in Physics to Pierre-Gilles de Gennes of Collge de France "for discovering that methods developed for studying order phenomena in simple systems can be generalized to more complex forms of matter, in particular to liquid crystals and polymers". "de Gennes' models of polymer-chain motion" show "that a certain typical segment of a chain can move as if it were free, even in more concentrated solutions." "The reptation model described the serpentine motion of a polymer chain within a "tangle" of surrounding polymer chains." The book goes far beyond the analysis of the effect of the Nobel Prize on how we interpret movement within materials today and how our present perception affects many aspects of science. The introductory chapter defines principle terms and their semantics, followed by an introduction to Nobel Laureate and Award Justification and analysis of published materials until today. It is followed by the analysis of the effect of Nobel Prize on the frequency of publication of research papers and patents on the subject chain mobility. Chapter 3 contains discussion of different mechanisms used for description and interpretation of results of chain motion of macromolecular substances, such as bead-chain, bond fluctuation, Brill transition, chain diffusion, chain orientation, chemo-responsive, coarse-grained, fluorescence blob, intra- vs. inter-chain, light activated, magnetic-activated, microwave, rod chain, Rouse, shape memory, slip-link, strain-induced, tube models which today form fabric of scientific explanation of applicable facts. Chapter 4 will discuss conditions or, in other words, parameters under which chains move, including activation energy, annealing, chain absorption, chain scission, compaction pressure, configuration, confinement dimensions, crosslinks, crystallization, dynamic ratio, electrostatic interaction, entanglements, free surface, free volume, glass transition temperature, hydrophilicity, interaction length, interface layer, layer thickness, microstructure, miscible and immiscible blends, molecular weight, nanoparticles, packing density, presence of low molecular compounds (e.g., plasticizers, solvents), pressure, relaxation time, rotational motion, segmental dynamics, side chains, temperature, and time of chain movement. All these parameters are essential determinants of chain movement and their impact id discussed in separate sections of this chapter. Chapter 5 includes information on the effect of chain movement on properties of materials, such as chain alignment, chain orientation, creation of free volume, crystallization, dimensional stability, formation of porous structures, ionic transport, mechanical properties, polymer blends, polymer redistribution, proton transfer, release rate of low molecular compounds, reinforcement, self-healing, sound attenuation, steric hindrance, storage modulus, swelling, thermal expansion, thermal stability, and wear. Chapter 7 contains information on significant contributions on chain mobility for 50 polymers. The polymers selected comprise about 25% of all polymers included in Handbook of Polymers, which means that chain mobility was important subject of studies in both theoretical and practical applications. This book gives numerous examples on how to apply these findings in the developemnt of cutting-edge products for medicine, pharmacy, and polymer sciences. Feature Discusses various chain motion mechanisms such as bond fluctuation, Brill transition, chain diffusion, and more and how these can be applied in the development of cutting-edge products Looks at conditions under which chains move and the effects these movements have on the properties of materials Provides examples of research and technological aspects of chain movements as they relate to analytical methods used for studies, different polymers, and various fields of application Details ISBN 1927885655 Author George Wypych ISBN-10 1927885655 ISBN-13 9781927885659 Format Hardcover Series Impact of Award Year 2020 Imprint Chem Tec Publishing,Canada Country of Publication Canada Illustrations Approx. 200 illustrations; Illustrations, unspecified Affiliation ChemTec Publishing, Ontario, Canada Pages 242 DEWEY 541 Publication Date 2020-03-11 Language English UK Release Date 2020-03-11 Publisher Chem Tec Publishing,Canada Alternative 9781927885666 Audience Professional & Vocational NZ Release Date 2020-03-10 AU Release Date 2020-03-10 Replaced by 9781774670507 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
