In twenty-nine chapters by leading authorities, Structure and Properties of Glassy Polymers provides readers with comprehensive coverage of basic and applied research on glass polymers as well as a wealth of information on current topics such as molecular modeling, characterization, polymer glasses in confined spaces, and conducting glass polymers. The characterization techniques presented include temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry, dielectric loss spectroscopy, photochemical hole burning, positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, and transient current generation.
