Beskrivning

This book provides a comprehensive and structured overview of polymer science and engineering, catering to students, researchers, and industry professionals seeking to understand the fundamentals as well as the latest advancements in the field. Organized into five well- defined sections, it systematically covers the basic principles, synthesis methods, processing techniques, characterization tools, and a wide range of real- world applications of polymers. The first section introduces the readers to the foundational concepts of polymer science, including the molecular structure, polymerization techniques, and the physical properties that influence polymer performance in practical settings. It builds a strong conceptual framework for understanding how polymers behave and how their structure determines their utility. The second section delves into the diversity of polymers, from commodity plastics to cutting- edge materials such as biodegradable polymers, conductive polymers, and nanocomposites. It highlights the synthesis routes and engineering potential of each type, offering insights into how specific polymers are tailored for particular uses. The third section focuses on polymer processing and characterization, presenting the techniques used in industrial manufacturing (e.g., extrusion, injection molding, 3D printing) and analytical methods like spectroscopy and thermal analysis that reveal material properties and quality. The fourth section emphasizes the vast application domains of polymers, exploring their roles in biomedicine, electronics, automotive, and aerospace sectors, and green technologies. This section bridges theory with practice, demonstrating the tangible impact of polymer science on modern life. Finally, the book concludes with emerging trends and challenges such as polymer recycling, smart materials, AI- driven research, and space technology applications positioning the reader to appreciate the dynamic future of this rapidly evolving discipline.

Mer information

Flg. Offr. (Dr.) Amit Kumar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Jamia Millia Islamia (A Central University), New Delhi, India, where he is actively engaged in teaching, research, and academic administration. He also serves as an Associate NCC Officer (Air Wing) with the No. 1 Delhi Air Squadron (Flying), National Cadet Corps (NCC), reflecting his commitment to leadership and youth development. Dr. Kumar obtained his Ph.D. in Theoretical Chemistry from the University of Delhi, where his research focused on developing generalized theoretical models for understanding the conformational and dynamic properties of semiflexible dendrimers. His research interests encompass statistical mechanics, soft condensed matter physics, polymer science, molecular modelling, computational chemistry, and multiscale modelling of biological macromolecules. His current work integrates graph theory, statistical physics, coarse- grained modelling, molecular dynamics, and machine learning to investigate the structure– property relationships of complex polymeric and biomolecular systems. He has successfully completed and led several externally funded research projects supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), the University Grants Commission (UGC), and the University of Delhi as Principal Investigator. His research has resulted in numerous publications in internationally reputed journals, including Macromolecules, Journal of Chemical Physics, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, Soft Matter, Chemical Physics, Journal of Molecular Liquids, International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, RSC Advances, and Polymers. He has also contributed book chapters published by Elsevier on environmental chemistry and sustainable technologies. Beyond research, Dr. Kumar has made significant contributions to curriculum development, computational education, and academic innovation. He has introduced advanced postgraduate courses in computational chemistry and statistical mechanics, established a smart computer laboratory, coordinated SWAYAM and NEP initiatives, and actively contributes to institutional development at Jamia Millia Islamia. He has also served as a Guest Editor for a special issue of ChemistrySelect commemorating the centenary of Jamia Millia Islamia. Dr. Kumar is a recipient of several academic distinctions, including securing First Rank in the University of Delhi Ph.D. Entrance Examination, qualifying the CSIR– UGC Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) examination, and receiving the Shikshak Samman for excellence in teaching. He is a lifetime member of the Society for Promotion of Education and Science (SPES) and the Biophysical Society of India. Savita Sharma is currently serving as an assistant professor in the Department of Physics at Kalindi College, University of Delhi. She holds a Ph.D. in material sciences from Delhi Technological University, an M.Sc. in physics with specialization in Electronics from Hindu College, University of Delhi, and a B.Ed. in science and mathematics from G.G.S. Indraprastha University. She is also a top- ranking recipient of the CSIR- NET (AIR 1, December 2024) and a qualified GATE and CTET candidate. Dr. Sharma brings over 14 years of academic and research experience, including roles at Delhi Technological University, National Physical Laboratory, and University of Delhi. Her research expertise encompasses nanotechnology, thin film technology, solar cells, sensors, memory devices, and energy harvesting. She has hands- on proficiency in advanced deposition and characterization techniques like magnetron sputtering, pulsed laser deposition (PLD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), value stream mapping (VSM), and X- ray diffraction (XRD). An accomplished researcher, Dr. Sharma has authored over 50 peer- reviewed publications in international journals such as Journal of Applied Physics, Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing, and Energy Storage (Wiley), and contributed chapters to several books published by Elsevier, Springer, and Nova Science. She is also a co- inventor of two Indian patents related to biosensors. In addition to her research, she actively contributes to academic service and curriculum development, serves as President of the Alumni Association at Kalindi College, and has guided several postgraduate and Ph.D. students. She has delivered invited lectures, organized workshops, and participated in numerous national and international conferences across India, Europe, and the United States. Dr. Sharma is a life member of professional bodies including the Indian Physics Association (IPA), Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT), and the Materials Research Society (USA). She is committed to enhancing student engagement in research, developing e- content for wider dissemination, and continuing interdisciplinary research in cutting- edge areas of material science and device physics.
