Often, a polymer analyst has the opposite strengths and  weaknesses. As a result, it is important for both the specialist and analyst to understand some aspects of the work of the other. But, whereas there are a number of books  on surface and interfacial analysis written for the polymer analyst, there are few books written for the polymer specialist with a focus on surface and interfacial properties  rather than the analysis. This series of books by Manning Publication Co., copublished with Butterworth-Heinemann, is intended to rectify this situation for polymers as  well as ceramics, metals, semiconductors, and other materials.  aAlso available in print.  aMode of access: World Wide Web.  aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat reader.  aTitle from PDF t.p.
