Applied Polymer Rheology: Polymeric Fluids with Industrial Applications

Explore polymer rheology from an industrial standpoint

Presenting state-of-the-art polymer rheology as observed by well-recognized authors, Applied Polymer Rheology: Polymeric Fluids with Industrial Applications is designed to help readers understand the relationship between  molecular structure and the flow behavior of polymers. In particular, it  focuses on polymeric systems that elicit special attention from  industry.

Providing a comprehensive overview of the  rheological characteristics of polymeric fluids, the book bridges the  gap between theory and practice/application, enabling readers to see the  connection between molecular structure and the behavior of the polymers  studied. Beginning with a discussion of the properties, processability,  and processing aids of specific polymers, later chapters examine filled  polymers and composites, and the theoretical framework upon which their  analysis is based. Various systems containing microstructure are  presented subsequently, with the final chapter introducing paste  extrusion of polytetrafluoroethylene paste.

An invaluable reference guide that covers the literature and vast array of technical approaches to polymer rheology, Applied Polymer Rheology's coverage of polymeric fluids of interest to industry make it an  essential resource for plastics, polymer, and chemical engineers,  materials scientists, polymer chemists, and polymer physicists to use  when interpreting findings and planning experiments.
