Overview
The polymer industry raises a large number of relevant mathematical problems with respect to the quality of manufactured polymer parts. These include in particular questions about: - the production of the polymeric material from a monomer (based on the Ziegler-Natta catalytic process) - the crystallization kinetic of the polymer melt - the coupling of the crystallization process with the fluid dynamics of the manufacturing process such as extrusion, injection moulding of film blowing, etc.This book provides the first unified presentation of the mathematical modelling of polymerization, crystallization and extrusion of polymer melts, by means of advanced methods, presented in an accessible way for applied scientists and engineers. The present volume is the result of a long-term cooperation between different research teams in Europe within the ECMI Special Interest Group on ""Polymers"".

Reviews
Excerpt from 1st PROOF ...It is a merit of the book that it can be read without much knowledge of the application area as such, but at the same time contains very useful analyses for researchers in the area. A reader who would like to get a good overview of the topic will not find all he may wish. On the other hand, it is certainly very well suited for a first encounter with a variety of mathematical modeling aspects of this intriguing and important application area. I can also recommend it for modeling classes at the graduate level, as well as to authors who would like to see how a successful amalgamation of topics and mathematical approaches can be produced.
