Review: This book gives a comparison between the structures of different classes of materials and their attendant properties, in particular the structural differences between individual polymers and the resultant properties, the only class of materials where data and techniques allow properties to be estimated. Since properties are determined by structures, a knowledge of the structure will aid understanding of the differences in behaviour of various materials. The book includes chapters on: the morphology of materials and their relationship to properties; polymer orientation and rubber elasticity; molecular forces and volumetric properties; calorimetric properties; temperature relationships; and optical, electrical, acoustic and magnetic properties. The CD includes databases for comparing diverse metals, ceramics and organic polymers and for estimating polymer properties and miscibilities.
