Preface I. Overview 1. Introduction Overview of polymers, classification of the different polymer groups. Different structures/morphology; overview on characteristic details, variety of morphology, definition of characteristic details of morphology. Influence of morphology on mechanical behaviour, deformation structures, features of fracture, definition of deformation and fracture details. Aim of research: understanding of structure-property correlations. 2. Techniques and methods Overview of all relevant techniques and preparation methods to study themorphology of the different polymers: OM, SEM, TEM, AFM, Overview on techniques and methods to study changes in morphologyand fracture details, including in situ microscopy based on SEM, TEM, HVEM, AFM.

Structure and morphology determine the properties of polymeric materials. This atlas provides, with over 2000 high-quality micrographs, a comprehensive overview of the structural/morphological diversity of all classes of plastics. All microscopic techniques from light microscopy through scanning and transmission electron microscopy to atomic force microscopy are covered. Another focus is on the changes in plastics morphology occurring under mechanical stress, i.e. the deformation and fracture structures. The extensive visual material will help professionals in research and application fields to determine structure-property correlations of polymeric materials and also improve training and teaching in universities.
