Prediction of polymer properties / Jozef Bicerano

Incluye referencias bibliográficas e índice

This practical Second Edition of an incomparable resource extends its presenta¬tion of a revolutionary breakthrough in the methodology of predicting polymer properties through quantitative structure-property relationships and continues to demonstrate in a simple, straight-forward manner how this methodology can be applied to a much wider variety of polymer types than was previously possible. Maintaining the style of presentation that sent the first edition into multiple printings, Prediction of Polymer Properties, Second Edition examines the key material properties of polymers...provides more detailed background information and dis¬cussion of each topic...furnishes improved methods for predicting the physical properties of polymers...supplies an extended discussion of melt viscosity with new equations for shear rate dependence...gives updated tables listing the exper¬imental values of surface tension and interfacial tensions.. .offers a broader analy¬sis of the behavior of polymers under large deformations.. .and much more.
