Fundamentals of Polymer Science - Coleman, Michael M. (Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA) a Painter, Paul C. (Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA)

Starts with a description of the types of microstructures found in polymer materials. This text then deals with chain conformation, structure and morphology, leading to a discussion of crystallization, melting and glass transition. It also features schematics and other figures to illustrate key concepts and aspects of polymeric materials.
