Summary:

Polymers, natural or synthetic, have been widely applied in various areas. This new book is dedicated to related research on calculating, preparing polymers and characterizing the morphology of them, involving polymers from inorganic to organic materials including natural macromolecules. It contains a considerable amount of information on the techniques and methods used for the characterization and analysis of polymer morphology. Various techniques covered include but not limited to electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.
