This book describes the properties of single polymer molecules
and polymeric materials and the methods how to characterize them.
Molar masses, molar mass distributions and branching structure are
discussed in detail. These properties are decisive for a deeper
understanding of structure/properties relationships of polymeric
materials. This book therefore describes and discusses them in
detail. The mechanical behavior as a function of time and
temperature is a key subject of the book. The authors present it on
the basis of many original results they have obtained in their long
research careers. They present the temperature dependence of
mechanical properties of various polymeric materials in a wide
temperature range: from cryogenic temperatures to the melt. Besides
an extensive data collection on the transitions of various
different polymeric materials, they also carefully present the
physical explanations of the observed phenomena. Glass transition
and melting temperatures are discussed, particularly, with their
relevance for applications.
A comprehensive part of the book deals with properties of
polymers in the molten state and their decisive influence on the
processing of the materials. The book presents and discusses
viscous andelastic properties in detail as a function of molar
mass, polydispersity, and branching.
This book addresses students of polymer and materials science,
as well as other natural sciences. Besides this educational value,
it will also serve as a valuable monograph for everyone dealing
with polymers and polymeric materials, from research, over
development, to applications."
