 | Relaxation in Physical and Mechanical Behavior of Polymers Subjects: Engineering & Technology; Physical Sciences; Material Science; Materials Science; Chemical Engineering; Physics; Polymer Science; Polymers & Plastics; Condensed Matter Physics; Matter & Solid State Physics; Crystallography; Explores the nature of relaxation phenomena in polymers on the basis of time-temperature equivalence. Its role in the physical and mechanical behavior of polymers materials and fundamentals of thermoplastics processing are discussed. Four appendixes detail thermo-mechanical methods to study relaxation in polymers, structure of both amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers, and unified approach to describe deformation of polymeric materials.
