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.
