Cours de chimie des polymères

The "Course on Polymer Chemistry" is a comprehensive guide aimed at chemistry students and professionals involved in the chemistry of polymers. In recent years, the applications of polymers have significantly expanded in various fields such as technology, medicine, household products, and art. This work addresses the physical and organic chemistry of polymers and highlights their important applications in the production of adhesives, fibers, rubber, plastics, and paints. The first two chapters focus on the structures of polymers and their essential properties, which influence their physical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics as well as processing. The third chapter provides a detailed overview of the main types of plastics, their manufacturing processes, properties, and applications.
