Download or read book The Vibrational Spectroscopy of Polymers written by D. I. Bower and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-07-16 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes the theory and practice of infrared and Raman spectroscopy as applied to the study of the physical and chemical characteristics of polymers. Its purpose is to give the beginning researcher in the field a firm foundation and a starting point for the study of more advanced literature. To this end the book concentrates on the fundamentals of the theory and nomenclature, and on the discussion of well-documented illustrations of these fundamental principles, including many now-classic studies in the subject. No previous knowledge of either polymers or vibrational spectroscopy is assumed.
