Opis

This book provides a critical review of the equilibrium elastic properties of rubber, together with the kinetic-theory background. It is suitable for the non-specialist and the emphasis is on the physical reality embodied in the mathematical formulations. Polymer science had developed greatly since the second edition of this text in 1958, and the two main advances-the refinements of the network theory and associated thermodynamic analysis, and the development of the phenomenological or non-molecular approach to the subject-are both reflected in the structure of this third edition.

Recenzje

Treloar's personal qualities include a clear mind and a facility for designing simple pertinent experiments... It will be enjoyed by research workers, teachers and students whether or not they are familiar with the subject.
