Natural and synthetic water soluble polymers are used in a wide
range of familiar industrial and consumer products, including
coatings and inks, papers, adhesives, cosmetics and personal care
products. They perform a variety of functions without which these
products would be significantly more expensive, less effective or
both.
Written for research, development and formulation chemists,
technologists and engineers at graduate level and beyond in the
fine and specialty chemicals, polymers, food and pharmaceutical
industries, the Handbook of Industrial Water Soluble
Polymers deals specifically with the functional properties of
both natural and synthetic water soluble polymers. By taking a
function based approach, rather than a ‘polymer
specific’ approach the book illustrates how polymer structure
leads to effect, and shows how different polymer types can be
employed to achieve appropriate product properties.
