Overview
In twenty-nine chapters by leading authorities, Structure and Properties of Glassy Polymers provides readers with comprehensive coverage of basic and applied research on glass polymers as well as a wealth of information on current topics such as molecular modeling, characterization, polymer glasses in confined spaces, and conducting glass polymers. The characterization techniques presented include temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry, dielectric loss spectroscopy, photochemical hole burning, positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, and transient current generation.

This collection of 29 contributions, developed from an April 1997 symposium held in San Francisco, anticipates that by understanding the underlying physics of polymeric glasses, scientists and engineers will be able to develop the ability to tailor the structure and state of the polymer glass to achieve the properties desired for specific applications. The volume is organized into five sections: physics of glassy polymers, molecular mobility and relaxations in the glassy state, physical aging, mechanical properties, and transport properties. Topics include the use of configurational entropy to derive kinetic properties; dielectric spectroscopy of bisphenol-A polycarbonate and some of its blends; transitions, properties, and molecular mobility during cure of thermosetting resins; and vacancy spectroscopy of polymers using positronium.
