23. |  Polymer Dynamics and Relaxation By: Richard Boyd; Grant Smith Publisher: Cambridge University Press Publication Date: 13-SEP-2007 Insert Date: 07-MAY-2013 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Polymer Dynamics and Relaxation
This book was first published in 2007. Polymers exhibit a range of physical characteristics, from rubber-like elasticity to the glassy state. These particular properties are controlled at the molecular level by the mobility of the structural constituents. Remarkable changes in mobility can be witnessed with temperature, over narrow, well defined regions, termed relaxation processes. This is an important, unique phenomenon controlling polymer transition behaviour and is described here at an introductory level. The important types of relaxation processes from amorphous to crystalline...
