Features: Evaporation is a process for removing low-molecular-weight components from polymer systems. "Polymer Evaporation" is a comprehensive practical reference book that provides an extensive amount of information. It primarily introduces the fundamental theories necessary for understanding polymer evaporation, elaborates on the mechanisms of the polymer evaporation process, and discusses various types of effective evaporation equipment. "Polymer Evaporation" details the techniques and instruments for measuring volatile components in polymers, lists evaporation equipment of different geometries and types; explains the thermodynamics of polymer solutions, the diffusion of solvents in polymers, and the nucleation and growth mechanisms of bubbles; examines the evaporation of various polymers and the industrial applications of their equipment, providing engineering examples and calculation methods; offers methods for determining the content of residual monomers and other volatile components; presents practical data on vapor pressure and polymer-solvent interaction parameters; provides a forward-looking perspective on the future application of solvents in the polymer industry; and lists abstracts of more than 60 major papers published in the past decade on polymer evaporation, with references numbering over 600, involving 675 tables, equations, illustrations, and photographs. "Polymer Evaporation" is a valuable reference book for synthetic and processing engineers of plastics, composite materials, and other polymers, polymer and materials scientists, polymer chemists, and college and university graduates. The book comprehensively introduces the thermodynamic research of polymer evaporation, solvent diffusion in polymer systems, and bubble nucleation in polymer solutions.
