Product Description
Enlarged and completely revised, Volume 1 of the third edition of Hummel contains almost 2800 FTIR spectra, largely of new polymers. All spectra are presented with information on source, preparation, structural and molecular formulas, decimal numbers and an extensive bibliography.
From a review of the second edition:
My first impression after scanning through the volumes was that this is an amazing reference work. Each volume has an extensive bibliography. The spectra are very well recorded, even for materials where sample preparation must have been very difficult. The decimal classification used in the Atlas is a brilliant and complete system for classifying polymers... (this Atlas) must be the best presented and most uptodate reference available.
Polymer Division Newsletter
D.O. Hummel, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Cologne, FRG, has written several books in the field of polymers and plastics which have found international renown. Professor Hummel is one of the polymer gurus for polymer scientists worldwide.
This spectral library with all additional information is also available in electronic form by Chemical Concepts. Please inquire for Hummel Infrared Standards. See the following homepage for more information:
Synopsis
Intended for polymer chemists, plastics technologists, analytical chemists, spectroscopists and those working in plastics industries and analytical laboratories, this is the first volume of the third edition of an atlas of polymer and plastics analysis. The work has been enlarged and completely revised and contains almost 3200 FT-IR-spectra on polymers newly developed since 1980, together with information on source, preparation, structural and molecular formulae, decimal numbers and bibliography. All spectra have been measured on either modern computer-aided dispersive spectrometers or the FT-IR method, and the key to each spectra gives information on source synthesis and preparation of the polymer.
