This book focuses on the chemistry of marine polymers, waterborne
polymers, and water-resistant polymers, as well as the special
applications of these materials. After the chemistry of marine polymers
and their types are discussed, the uses of these polymers are detailed,
as well as various analytical and characterization testing methods.
The book also emphasizes the polymers that are most
environmentally-friendly along with their origin and industrial
applications. The polymers from these 3 types serve a variety of
industries including medical equipment and devices, outdoor coatings and
corrosion protection, food packaging, saltwater and freshwater marine
purposes such as marine ropes, boat coatings, pipeline protection, and
marine well application, to name just a few.
