This textbook covers physical and chemical aspects and the concept of property being determined by structure. It discusses polymer synthesis, associated kinetics, molecular weights and uses this information for reactor design. It covers emulsion polymerization, polymer characterization and thermodynamics. "Fundamentals of Polymer Engineering covers essential concepts and breakthroughs in reactor design and polymer production and processing. It contains modern theories and real-world examples for a clear understanding of polymer function and development. Additionally, Fundamentals of Polymer Engineering addresses new materials, applications, processing techniques, and interpretations of data in the field of polymer science? An ideal textbook that specifically commended for senior undergraduate students and first year graduate students in polymer engineering and science courses, as well as professional engineers, scientists, and chemists, Fundamentals of Polymer Engineering provides examples and problems that are included at the end of each chapter for concept reinforcement." ~Midwest Book Review, March 2019
