    POLYMER VISCOELASTICITY
    Basics, Molecular Theories and Experiments

    by Yn-Hwang Lin (National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan)

    In this book, the studies of the Rouse, Doi–Edwards, and extended reptation theories are developed in a consistent manner from a basic level and discussed in detail. Viscoelastic properties of nearly monodisperse linear flexible polymers in both the entanglement and entanglement-free regions are analyzed quantitatively in terms of the molecular theories.

    Readership: Graduate students, academics and industrial researchers in polymer science and physical chemistry.
     
    “This book can be recommended to students in material science who make their first contact with molecular models. It is also a good source to brush up on existing knowledge about reptation models.”
