Conformations by Alan E. Tonelli, Jialong Shen Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Among the materials found in Nature's many diverse living organisms or produced by human industry, those made from polymers are dominant. In Nature, they are not only dominant, but they are, as well, uniquely necessary to life. Conformations: Connecting the Chemical Structures and Material Behaviors of Polymers explores how the detailed chemical structures of polymers can be characterized, how their microstructural-dependent conformational preferences can be evaluated, and how these conformational preferences can be connected to the behaviors and properties of their materials.The authors examine the connections between the microstructures of polymers and the rich variety of physical properties they evidence. Detailed polymer architectures, including the molecular bonding and geometries of backbone and side-chain groups, monomer stereo- and regiosequences, comonomer sequences, and branching, are explicitly considered in the analysis of the conformational characteristics of polymers.This valuable reference provides practicing materials engineers as well as polymer and materials science students a means of understanding the differences in behaviors and properties of materials made from chemically distinct polymers. This knowledge can assist the reader design polymers with chemical structures that lead to their desired material behaviors and properties. Author Biography Alan Tonelli, born in Chicago in 1942,received a BS in Chemical Engineeringfrom the University of Kansas, in 1964 anda PhD in Polymer Chemistry from Stanfordin 1968, where he was associated with thelate "Father of Polymer Science" andNobelist Professor Paul J. Flory. He was amember of the Polymer Chemistry ResearchDepartment at AT&T-BELL Laboratories,Murray Hill, NJ for 23 years. In 1991, hejoined the Textile Engineering, Chemistry, & Science Department and theFiber & Polymer Science Program in the College of Textiles at NorthCarolina State University in Raleigh, where he is currently theINVISTA Prof. of Fiber & Polymer Chemistry. Professor Tonelli's researchinterests include the conformations, configurations, and structures of syntheticand biological polymers, their determination by NMR, and establishingtheir effects on the physical properties of polymer materials. Morerecently, the formation, study, and use of inclusion complexes formed withpolymers and small molecule guests, such as urea and cyclodextrins, tonanostructure and safely deliver biologically active molecules to polymermaterials have been the focus of his research.Jialong Shen, born in Hangzhou, China, in1987, received a PhD in Fiber and PolymerScience from North Carolina StateUniversity, North Carolina, United States,in 2017. His research interests include themolecular basis of polymer glass transitions,host-guest supramolecular chemistry, andthe applications of bio-macromoleculessuch as carbohydrate polymers and enzymes.He is currently a postdoctoral researchscholar in the Textile Engineering, Chemistry, & Science Department atNorth Carolina State University.
