Chain Mobility and Progress in Medicine, Pharmaceuticals, and Polymer Science and TechnologyAuthor(s): George Wypych\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Chem Tec Publishing,Canada, Canada\nImprint: Chem Tec Publishing,Canada\nISBN-13: 9781927885659, 978-1927885659\nSynopsis\nChain 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, creat.
