Polymer Glasses (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Roth, Connie B.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Polymer glasses are amorphous, non-equilibrium solids that exhibit properties unique to other glass-forming materials due to the long chain nature of polymer molecules. This book provides the first focused treatment of polymer glasses, including an introductory overview of the main concepts and approaches used, and industrial applications. It also gives a complete picture of the state of the art in experimental, theoretical, and computational studies of glassy polymers both confined at the nanoscale and under active deformation.

Autorenporträt

Connie B. Roth is currently an Associate Professor of Physics at Emory University, as well as the Director of Graduate Studies for the Physics Doctoral program. She received her Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Physics from the University of Guelph, Canada. Her interest in polymers stems from her time working at Xerox Research Centre of Canada (XRCC) during summers while pursuing her B.Sc. in Physics at McMaster University in Canada. Following postdoctoral positions at Simon Frazier University, Vancouver, and Northwestern University, Chicago, Dr. Roth joined Emory's faculty in 2007. Prof. Roth's research lab studies the physical and mechanical properties of polymer glasses near interfaces, as well as the effects of stress, temperature, and miscibility. She has received a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award, American Chemical Society PRF Doctoral New Investigator grant, and was the 2009 recipient of the Division of Polymer Physics (DPOLY) / United Kingdom Polymer Physics Group (UKPPG) Polymer Lecture Exchange by the American Physical Society.
