Overview

Modern polymer processing can no longer be regarded as a mere shape conversion operation; rather, it is a route to the achievement of specific properties in a given system, involving substantial reorganization at the nano and molecular levels. Our understanding of the mechanisms governing the development of structure in the different routes by which polymeric raw materials are transformed into useful artifacts is a very important subject, keystone in the control and enhancement of plastic products. This book presents a compilation of studies in the area, presenting a comprehensive, tutorial review of the interrelationships between the properties, structure and processing of polymeric materials.
