520 3 _aAlthough a polymer specialist typically has the background needed to appreciate the subtleties of the polymer which are important for its application, he or she may not have the training to extract all the information available from the analysis of the polymeric material. 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.
