Online resources: Summary: Comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of advanced research in polymer physics This book offers a much-needed overview of the science of polymer physics today. It walks readers through important areas of advanced research in the field, explaining what scientists and engineers need to know about the interrelationships between polymer structures, morphology, and physical and mechanical behavior. Polymer Physics is divided into four parts: Rheology, Thermodynamics, Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS), and Physics of the Polymeric Nanocomposites. Contributed chapters from leaders in the field emphasize the most important trends in polymer physics, from nanorheology and molecular modeling to PALS applications and physical aging. Key topics include: The viscosity of suspensions and solutions Kinetics of polymer aging Molecular dynamics Free volume Solid-state physics, thermodynamics, and dynamics Multi-component polymeric systems Rheology of polymers with nano-fillers An invaluable resource for chemists, chemical engineers, material scientists, and polymer scientists, Polymer Physics also provides practical guidance for professionals in the plastics, rubber, adhesives, fiber, and paint industries.Summary: Intro -- POLYMER PHYSICS -- CONTENTS -- CONTRIBUTORS -- PREFACE -- Robert Simha: A Life with Polymers -- PART I RHEOLOGY -- 1 Newtonian Viscosity of Dilute, Semidilute, and Concentrated Polymer Solutions -- 2 Polymer and Surfactant Drag Reduction in Turbulent Flows -- 3 Nanorheology of Polymer Nanoalloys and Nanocomposites -- 4 Volume Relaxation and the Lattice-Hole Model -- 5 Dynamics of Materials at the Nanoscale: Small-Molecule Liquids and Polymer Films -- PART II THERMODYNAMICS -- 6 Equations of State and Free-Volume Content -- 7 Spatial Configuration and Thermodynamic Characteristics of Main-Chain Liquid Crystals -- 8 Bulk and Surface Properties of Random Copolymers in View of the Simha-Somcynsky Equation of State -- 9 Physical Aging -- PART III POSITION ANNIHILATION LIFETIME SPECTROSCOPY -- 10 Morphology of Free-Volume Holes in Amorphous Polymers by Means of Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy -- 11 Local Free-Volume Distribution from PALS and Dynamics of Polymers -- 12 Positron Annihilation Lifetime Studies of Free Volume in Heterogeneous Polymer Systems -- PART IV PHYSICS OF THE POLYMERIC NANOCOMPOSITES -- 13 Structure-Property Relationships of Nanocomposites -- 14 Free Volume in Molten and Glassy Polymers and Nanocomposites -- 15 Metal Particles Confined in Polymeric Matrices -- 16 Rheology of Polymers with Nanofillers -- Appendix A: Abbreviations and Notations -- Appendix B: Robert Simha Publications -- SUBJECT INDEX.PPN: PPN: 809081865Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PQE
