Polymer Dynamics and Relaxation

Klappentext A detailed discussion on the different types of relaxation processes and the experimental methods used to study them. Zusammenfassung Polymeric transition behaviour is controlled at the molecular level by the mobility of the structural constituents. This book covers the important types of relaxation processes in conjunction with the broad spectrum of experimental methods used to study them. Researchers in materials science! physics and chemistry will find this book useful. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Part I. Methodology: 1. Mechanical relaxation; 2. Dielectric relaxation; 3.
