Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers


Product Description
Providing an updated and comprehensive account of the properties of solid polymers, the book covers all aspects of mechanical behaviour. This includes finite elastic behavior, linear viscoelasticity and mechanical relaxations, mechanical anisotropy, non-linear viscoelasicity, yield behavior and fracture. New to this edition is coverage of polymer nanocomposites, and molecular interpretations of yield, e.g. Bowden, Young, and Argon.
The book begins by focusing on the structure of polymers, including their chemical composition and physical structure. It goes on to discuss the mechanical properties and behaviour of polymers, the statistical molecular theories of the rubber-like state and describes aspects of linear viscoelastic behaviour, its measurement, and experimental studies.
Later chapters cover composites and experimental behaviour, relaxation transitions, stress and yielding. The book concludes with a discussion of breaking phenomena.
</p>Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers Review
Contrary to another (misleading) review, this fantastic new version of the book updates the earlier text to include recent advances in polymer science. It is not the student focussed 'Introduction' book but one that can be used by all, through doctorate and beyond. I found it essential reading during my degree and still use it as a reference book.There are also no 'missing' chapters as claimed and it should be noted that the other reviewer even admits that they based their review on the earlier edition (1983), that they bought in 2013... which would, of course, be dated since it was published thirty years earlier! Reviews should be checked by Amazon before they are allowed to be published. Amazon should also check that their links are tied to the correct edition. My review of the third edition (2013) appears on the second edition (1983) sales page as well! Still, my comments would be equally valid for this earlier edition if they are read in context.
Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers" are high quality item. You can read each testimony from consumers to find out cons and pros from Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers ...
