This book was first published in 2007. Polymers exhibit a range of
physical characteristics, from rubber-like elasticity to the glassy
state. These particular properties are controlled at the molecular
level by the mobility of the structural constituents. Remarkable
changes in mobility can be witnessed with temperature, over narrow,
well defined regions, termed relaxation processes. This is an
important, unique phenomenon controlling polymer transition
behaviour and is described here at an introductory level. The
important types of relaxation processes from amorphous to
crystalline polymers and polymeric miscible blends are covered, in
conjunction with the broad spectrum of experimental methods used to
study them in 2007. In-depth discussion of molecular level
interpretation, including atomistic level computer simulations and
applications to molecular mechanism elucidation, are discussed. The
result is a self-contained approach to polymeric interpretation
suitable for researchers in materials science, physics and
chemistry interested in the relaxation processes of polymeric
systems.
