Materials Science of Polymers
1995,
512 pages, 410 figures, by Tim A. Osswald, Georg Menges
$59.95
Description
This book introduces engineering properties of polymeric materials to
students and engineers from a material science perspective. It begins
with a presentation of the chemistry of polymers, followed by an extensive
description of their non-mechanical properties. The rheology of polymer
melts is covered. The solidification processes of thermoplastic and thermosetting
materials are discussed. Examples illustrate the effects of processing
conditions on the dimensional integrity and properties of plastic components.
This is followed by a presentation of the mechanical behavior of polymer
parts, with an emphasis on creep, relaxation, fatigue and viscoelasticity.
