Introduction to Polymer Viscoelasticity

Zusatztext

<p>Completely revised and updated, the fourth edition of this classic text continues to offer the reader a thorough understanding of viscoelastic behavior, essential for the proper utilization of polymers.<br /><br /></p><ul><li>Explains principles, corresponding equations, and experimental methods with supporting real-life applications</li><li>Adds coverage of measurement techniques (nano-indentation, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS)), biopolymer viscoelasticity, and the relationship between mechanical polymer properties and viscoelastic functions</li><li>Has two new ections to address modern areas of viscoelastic measurement: large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) and microrheology</li><li>Includes problems in the text and an Instructors Manual (including solutions) available for adopting professors</li><li>Prior edition reviews: "The book is clear written and[is] appropriate for students in introductory undergraduate courses and for others wanting introduction to the fundamentals of the subject." (CHOICE, December 2005); "This book is invariably well written, logically organized and easy to follow...I highly recommend this book to anyone studying polymer viscoelasticity." (Polymer News, December 2005)</li></ul>
