30 years ago, polymer processing was considered to be a set of
operations aiming at imparting a desired shape to the material,
while its final properties were defined exclu sively by the
molecular structure and architecture resulted from the respective
synthetic approaches. These two fields of knowledge - polymer
processing and polymer structure - grew closer as several
scientific and technological works disclosed the microstructure and
other morphological features developed by polymeric systems upon
different process ing conditions. Even before the real
understanding of the polymer structural details, engineers were
able to make use of the effect of molecular orientation and to
manufacture polymeric fi bres with enhanced properties in terms of
stiffness and strength. However, it was during the 1970s that the
scientific community started to relate microstructure development
and the thermomechanical environment associated to different
processing techniques. Ever since, very important works were done
on semi crystalline, amorphous or blended polymers in order to
identify and, recently, to predict the effect of the imposed shear
fields and cool ing gradients on the final product properties.
These efforts led to more accurate process ing methods and
stimulated new engineering approaches, such as property enhancement
through out-of-the-processing as well as on-line control. Modem
processing technology has developed further towards the nano level,
enabling impacts on the macromolecular structure."
