Surface Phenomena in the Structural and Mechanical Behaviour of Solid Polymers explores the role of various surface phenomena in the structural and mechanical behaviour of amorphous and semicrystalline polymers. This book:

• Discusses the development of the interfacial surface in the deformation of polymers
• Examines the healing of interfacial surfaces in polymers
• Inspects the structure and properties of polymers in thin films and surface layers
• Evaluates the mechanism of inelastic deformation in glassy amorphous polymers
