Advanced reviews for Polymer Materials
"Molecular modeling of polymers ... is a subject that cannot befound in any other [book] in any appreciable detail. ... [T]hedetailed chapters on specific polymer systems is a great idea."
-- Gregory Odegard, Michigan Technological University
"The polymer community needs a text book which can connect themacroscopic mechanics with mesoscopic and molecular aspects ofpolymer."
-- Liangbin Li, University of Science and Technology ofChina
This book takes a unique, multi-scale approach to the mechanicalproperties of polymers, covering both the macroscopic and molecularlevels unlike any other book on the market. Based on theauthors' extensive research and writing in the field, PolymerMaterials emphasizes the relationships between the chemicalstructure and the mechanical behavior of polymer materials,providing authoritative guidelines for assessing polymerperformance under different conditions and the design of newmaterials.
Key features of this book include:
* Experimental results on selected examples precede and reinforcethe development of theoretical features
* In-depth discussions of a limited number of polymer systemsinstead of a brief overview of many
* Self-contained chapters with a summary of their key points
* Comprehensive problems and a solutions manual for the differentparts of the book
* Coverage of the basics with an emphasis on polymerdynamics
An indispensable resource for polymer scientists and studentsalike, Polymer Materials is also highly useful for materialscientists, engineers, chemists, and physicists in industry andacademia.
