This book discusses polymers from a mechanical engineering perspective, treating stresses and deformations in polymeric structural components.

With increasing use of polymers in sophisticated industrial applications, it is essential that mechanical engineers have a solid understanding of these compound

A revised molecular approach to a classic on viscoelasticbehavior Because viscoelasticity affects the properties, appearance,processing, and performance of poly

A physical, mechanism-based presentation of the plasticity and fracture of polymers, covering industrial scale applications through to nanoscale biofluidic devi
