Porous Polymers

by Michael S. Silverstein (Editor), Neil R. Cameron (Editor), Marc A. Hillmyer (Editor)

Overview

An in-depth look at the synthesis, characterization, and application of porous polymers

Recent years have seen a great deal of innovation in the field of porous polymers, including the development of new materials, new characterization techniques, and a myriad of new applications. The time is ripe for a comprehensive book on the subject.

Porous Polymers responds to the gap in the field, combining all aspects of the science and technology in a single, cohesive volume. Bringing together expert contributions from diverse backgrounds, the book is organized into three key areas: synthesis, characterization, and applications. With topics ranging from scientific fundamentals, to the current state of the art, to emerging trends in porous polymer research, this book:

• Discusses the different chemistries involved in the synthesis of porous materials

• Examines the fundamentally different approaches to characterizing porous polymers

• Describes applications in microelectronics, biomedical devices, membrane processes, and catalysis

• Features self-contained chapters for easy reference to specific topics

• Explains the basic scientific and engineering principles underlying each chapter

• Includes nearly 250 figures to help compare and contrast different porous polymer systems

A must-have for scientists in polymer physics, polymer chemistry, polymer processing, and polymer characterization, Porous Polymers is also a highly useful reference for chemical, materials, and biomedical engineers.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“I strongly recommend this book and I got a lot from reading it—it is a “must have” for researchers working in this field, and for those who wish to learn more about it.” (Angewandte Chemie, 2012)

"Nevertheless, this book is certainly a very appealing and recent summary of relevant aspects on porous polymers and must consequently be regarded a must for everyone working in that area. I therefore recommend this book to chemists, physicists and materials chemists as well as to any librarian." (Materials Views ,13 April 2011)
