Overview
Polymers are a ubiquitous part of our everyday life. Advances in polymer synthesis, processing and engineering have led to new applications exploiting the unique properties of polymers to realise advanced technologies far removed from their initial application.
Building on a review of the fundamentals of polymer science, this unit will … For more content click the Read More button below.
