Polymer Chemistry Notes by VSSUT

This note covers the entire syllabi of Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology (VSSUT) various basic as well as advanced topics of polymer chemistry. It introduces classes of polymers, which discuss the differences between thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers, and discusses natural versus synthetic polymers. This note will be covering organic and inorganic polymers with special emphasis on cis-trans isomerism and the glass transition temperature. The notes also elaborate on significant features such as crystallinity in polymers, step polymerization or polycondensation and kinetics of polymerization without strong catalysts. Molecular weight control of linear polymerization receives major emphasis and is thus a useful reference for students and for professionals who need to study synthesis structure, and properties of polymers, in detail.
