The home for the most innovative and exciting polymer chemistry, with an emphasis on the synthesis and applications of polymers. Can anyone recommend a good introductory polymer book. Mechanical properties of polymers and composites mechanical engineering 9780824789640. Properties and behavior of polymers, 2 volume set 9780470596708.
Mechanical properties of polymers and composites, second edition robert f. Filled polymers and polymer blends munstedt, helmut on. Although several textbooks on this subject are available. The rheology of polymer melts plays an important role today in industry and academia. This handbook explores the applications of polymer foams, and the properties that make them suitable for so many applications, in the detail required by. A polymer is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits. This book explores the ways in which melt flow behaviour can be exploited by the plastics engineer and technician for increased efficiency of processing operation, control of end product properties and selection and development of polymers for specific purposes. This chapter is devoted to the presentation of the fundamental rheological properties of polymers and their processing technologies. Viscoelastic properties of polymers, 3rd edition 9780471048947. It deals with similarities and differences of the flow properties of these two classes of material, providing both a fundamental and a practical understanding. A rapidly growing and industrially important field, it plays a significant role in polymer processing, food processing, coating and printing, and. Rheological and morphological properties of dispersed polymeric materials.
Shear viscosity, elongational viscosity, normal stress differences, stress relaxation, and some other measures and rheological phenomena, of relevance to polymer processing, are discussed. Polymer rheology has evolved as an independent science over the last 1015 years and is in its various aspects intimately entwined with molecular physics, continuum mechanics, and the processing of polymeric materials. If you are more interested in real world properties of polymers actually used, i can highly recommend. In particular, it is demonstrated that the detailed molecular structure of a polymer can be predicted based on polymerization conditions and this knowledge of the structure can be used to predict rheological properties. Rheological and morphological properties of dispersed. Today, rheology is 6070 per cent concerned with investigations of this kind of materials. Organized into seven parts encompassing 27 chapters, this book begins with an overview of polymer science and engineering, including the typology of polymers and their properties. Polymer properties are broadly divided into several classes based on the scale at which the property is defined as well as.
The rheological properties of polymer melts and polymer solutions are also considered. I will recommend to anyone who is working in polymer science and engineering field. Are there any good books or guide to polymer formulation. This book provides a detailed summary of stateofart methods for measuring rheological properties and relating them to molecular structure.
