This resource on the primary spectroscopic methods of polymer characterization is written by a polymer expert with 25 years of teaching and research experience. The book offers a background in the fundamental and experimental aspects and applications of vibrational and NMR techniques. The book's 11 chapters cover these aspects and applications of the primary spectroscopic methods, providing state-of-the-art information on FFIR, Raman, and NMR spectroscopy. Offering the reader a practical approach, this insightful volume shows how selected techniques can solve polymer structure problems as well as explains the advantages and limitations of these techniques. From these insights, the reader learns which techniques and methods to use and which to avoid for a particular problem. In addition, the reader will learn the sampling techniques to use and the type of results that can be expected. To meet the needs of industry, academia, and government, this valuable resource covers the spectroscopic techniques used in synthesizing polymers, in particular in the characterization of the microstructure of polymers.
This definitive reference will benefit those who have a basic knowledge of polymer chemistry and some familiarity with the basic vibrational and resonance spectroscopic methods, but who do not have the particular specialized knowledge that is required to apply the modem techniques.

Physical Properties of Polymers
by James E. Mark, Kia Ngai, William Graessley, Leo Mandelkern, Edward Samulski, Jack L. Koenig, and George Wignall
Published December 1962
The third edition of this well known textbook discusses the diverse physical states and associated properties of polymeric materials. The contents of the book have been conveniently divided into two general parts, 'Physical States of Polymers' and 'Characterization Techniques'. Written by seven of the leading figures in the polymer science community, this third edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded. As in the second edition, all of the chapters contain general introductory material and comprehensive literature citations designed to give newcomers to the field an appreciation of the subject and how it fits into the general context of polymer science. Containing numerous problem sets and worked examples this third edition provides enough core material for a one semester survey course at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level.
