Review
`Rheology of Filled Polymer Systems will be of most interest to those involved in injection molding and similar processes. [...]if you are interested in molding processes, and especially in the theoretical background, then this book is for you. [...]The main feature which distinguishes this book from others on polymer rheology is its focus on filled systems. The addition of fillers (particles, fibers, flakes, etc.) makes such systems behave much differently than unfilled polymers. [...]the writing is quite good [...] Shenoy does a good job of presenting data for a variety of systems, explaining the trends intuitively, and then showing how it all fits in with the theories developed earlier in the book.'
