Molecular and Supramolecular Photochemistry #58: Polymer and Composite Rheology, Second Edition, Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An analysis of polymer and composite rheology. This second edition covers flow properties of thermoplastic and thermoset polymers, and general principles and applications of all phases of polymer rheology, with new chapters on the rheology of particulate and fibre composites. It also includes new and expanded detail on polymer blends and emulsions, foams, reacting systems, and flow through porous media as well as composite processing operations.

Book News Annotation:

Gupta (chemical engineering, West Virginia U.-Morgantown) presents the general behavior of polymer melts, polymer solutions, suspensions, emulsions, foams, granular powders, and polymer composites during flow; explains the physics of the observations; provides information on the effects of different factors that influence flow behavior; describes and recommends methods for measuring, calculating, or theoretically estimating flow properties of polymers and polymeric composites; and directs readers to the appropriate technical literature. He uses the minimum amount of mathematics and considers both single-phase and multiphase systems. His intended readership include practicing engineers and graduate students, but he assumes no specialized knowledge. The 1977 first edition was titles Polymer Rheology and was published by L.E. Nielsen.
