Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers

About this book

The latest edition of the definitive guide on the mechanical behaviors of polymers

In the newly revised fourth edition of Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an up-to-date discussion of all aspects of the mechanical behavior of solid polymers. The book explores finite elastic behavior, linear viscoelasticity, mechanical relaxations, mechanical anisotropy, non-linear viscoelasticity, yield behavior, and fracture.

The authors emphasize biopolymers ā€“ as opposed to petrochemical-based polymers ā€“ and incorporate a great deal of computational, numerical, and simulation content. They offer extensive discussions of the effects of recycling, as well as nanocomposites ā€“ including carbon nanotubes, graphene, and other materials.

Readers will also find:

  • An updated comprehensive account of the properties of solid polymers
  • Discussions of the behaviors of polymers through the mathematical techniques of solid mechanics
  • Accounts of the influence of morphology on mechanics
  • Examples of the application of numerical methods

Perfect for academics, researchers and industrial scientists, Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers will also benefit students of materials science, physics, and chemistry students.
