Author Description

This well-organized and unique collection of 450 micrographs illustrates the various microscopic structures of polymers, polymer blends and composites. The high-quality photographs reflect the latest technology including optical, transmission electron, and scanning electron microscopy. The Atlas commences with a brief introduction to polymer science and additional topics related to morphological study.The second chapter describes various procedures and methods in morphological investigation. Subsequent chapters illustrate microscopic investigations of different polymer systems subjected to various treatments and conditions, and offer a description of the morphology-property relationships which determine material and production quality.
