Opis

Presents rheological data on a number of polymers, making use of the master curve approach to determine unified curves for each generic type of polymer. The text offers a step-by-step procedure for developing a speadsheet computer program to obtain accurate thermoplastic rheograms at any tempertature without using sophisticated rheometres. It includes possible correlations of melt flow index with various parameters involved in polymer manufacture, product fabrication and property evaluation.

Recenzje

"This book offers an interesting, practical approach to the rheology and processing parameters of thermoplastic materials. . . This book is recommended for engineers and processors who may benefit from the use of the spreadsheet program to predict the behavior of thermoplastic materials as a function of processing parameters.
