聚合物表征一书对于并不是聚合物表征专家的聚合物研究员与技师来说是一本实用手册，这将帮助他们确定什么样的表面、界面及微观特性对于聚合物的应用是重要的，以及最适合测试这些性质的技术。其他的聚合物表征书籍主要关注的是技术而不是材料特性，与他们不同，这本《聚合物的表征》(作者布伦德尔、埃文斯、周)强调材料的特性及他们的技术含义，推荐一种技术或一系列的技术来测试特定的性质，包括与数据归约/解释相关的方法与技术的利弊。内容涵盖已经被广泛接受和即将成为行业规范的新技术，附带参考文献以供深入研究。

《聚合物的表征》内容介绍：Characterization of Polymers is a practical guide for polymer researchers and technologists who are themselves not specialists in polymer characterization. It will help them determine what surface， interfacial and micro properties are important to their applications and the techniques most suited to the measurement of such properties. Unlike other polymer characterization books wherein the primary focus is on techniques rather than material properties，this book emphasizes the properties and their technical implications，and recommends a technique or a range of techniques to measure a specific property complete with the pros and cons of the techniques and methods of data reduction/interpretation wherever pertinent. Both widely accepted and novel techniques that may soon become industry norms are covered，and references are given for more in-depth studies.
