Features: This book takes polymer chemistry as the main thread, integrating the essential knowledge from inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry. The book consists of eleven chapters, including basic knowledge of material structure, fundamental concepts of organic compounds and polymers, hydrocarbons and chain polymers—saturated hydrocarbons, unsaturated hydrocarbons, alicyclic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and halogenated hydrocarbons, oxygen (sulfur)-containing organic compounds and their polymers—alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, nitrogen (silicon)-containing organic compounds and their polymers—amines, nitriles, isocyanates, nitrogen-containing hetero-chain polymers and silicon-containing compounds and their polymers, conformational isomers and enantiomers, heterocyclic compounds, basic knowledge of physical chemistry—three laws of thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium and reaction rates, solutions and phase equilibrium, surface phenomena and dispersion systems, polymerization reactions of polymers—nomenclature and classification of polymers, stepwise polymerization reactions, similar transformations of chain polymers, functional polymers, reactions that increase or decrease polymerization degree. This textbook is rich in content and appropriately challenging, with learning objectives, requirements, and exercises at the end of each chapter. It can be used as a teaching material for higher vocational and technical colleges in polymer materials engineering and related fields, as well as a reference for students and science and technology personnel in other institutions of higher learning and vocational and technical schools.
