Structure and Rheology of Molten Polymers From Structure to Flow Behavior and Back Again

"I can thoroughly recommend this book to scientists needing a comprehensive and reliable introduction to the state of the art in polymer melt rheology, whether they are graduate students in universities (or more experienced researchers for that matter), or situated in an industrial development group. No reader will escape the correct impression that this field has grown through a healthy collaboration between academia and industry, and I expect that ‘Structure and Rheology of Molten Polymers’ will help to support that productive engagement for many years to some. It belongs right next to both Doi and Edwards Theory of Polymer Dynamics and Ferry’s Viscoelastic Properties of Polymers, and that is where I have put it on my own shelf — and within arm’s reach too."

"Methods of polymer synthesis and characterisation are described, starting from fundamentals. ... ln this second edition, each chapter has been significantly updated to include recent advances in experimental methods and theoretical modelling." TPE Magazine, June 2018
