Applied Polymer Rheology Polymeric Fluids with Industrial Applications


Free Download Applied Polymer Rheology: Polymeric Fluids with Industrial Applications By
2012 | 357 Pages | ISBN: 047041670X | PDF | 5 MB
Explore polymer rheology from an industrial standpointPresenting state-of-the-art polymer rheology as observed by well-recognized authors, Applied Polymer Rheology: Polymeric Fluids with Industrial Applications is designed to help readers understand the relationship between molecular structure and the flow behavior of polymers. In particular, it focuses on polymeric systems that elicit special attention from industry.Providing a comprehensive overview of the rheological characteristics of polymeric fluids, the book bridges the gap between theory and practice/application, enabling readers to see the connection between molecular structure and the behavior of the polymers studied. Beginning with a discussion of the properties, processability, and processing aids of specific polymers, later chapters examine filled polymers and composites, and the theoretical framework upon which their analysis is based. Various systems containing microstructure are presented subsequently, with the final chapter introducing paste extrusion of polytetrafluoroethylene paste.An invaluable reference guide that covers the literature and vast array of technical approaches to polymer rheology, Applied Polymer Rheology’s coverage of polymeric fluids of interest to industry make it an essential resource for plastics, polymer, and chemical engineers, materials scientists, polymer chemists, and polymer physicists to use when interpreting findings and planning experiments.Content: Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Polymer Melt Rheology and Their Importance in Processing (pages 1-27): John Vlachopoulos and Nickolas PolychronopoulosChapter 2 Polymer Processing Additives for Melt Fracture Control (pages 29-58): Savvas G. Hatzikiriakos and Kalman B. MiglerChapter 3 Branched Polyolefins (pages 59-112): Alexandros D. GotsisChapter 4 Structure and Rheology of Fiber Suspensions (pages 113-151): Aaron P. R. Eberle, Kevin Ortman and Donald G. BairdChapter 5 Rheology and Processing of Polymer Nanocomposites (pages 153-177): Ramanan Krishnamoorti and Tirtha ChatterjeeChapter 6 Rheology of Wood-Plastics Composites (pages 179-208): Tieqi LiChapter 7 Block Copolymers in External Fields: Rheology, Flow?Induced Phenomena, and Applications (pages 209-239): Michel Cloitre and Dimitris VlassopoulosChapter 8 Reactive Systems and Thermoplastic Vulcanizates (pages 241-261): Philippe Cassagnau, Gregory Martin and Claire BarresChapter 9 Structure and Rheology of Polymer Composites Containing Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polymers (pages 263-264): Jiasong HeChapter 10 Electrorheological Fluids: Materials and Rheology (pages 285-302): Fei Fei Fang and Hyoung Jin ChoiChapter 11 Rheology and Processing of Polytetrafluoroethylene Paste (pages 303-334): Savvas G.

Deformation of Earth Materials An Introduction to the Rheology of Solid Earth


Free Download Deformation of Earth Materials: An Introduction to the Rheology of Solid Earth By Shun-ichiro Karato
2008 | 474 Pages | ISBN: 0521844045 | PDF | 8 MB
This graduate textbook, first published in 2008, presents a comprehensive, unified treatment of the materials science of deformation as applied to solid Earth geophysics and geology. The deformation of Earth materials is presented in a systematic way covering elastic, anelastic and viscous deformation. Advanced discussions on relevant debates are also included to bring readers a full picture of science in this interdisciplinary area. This textbook is ideal for graduate courses on the rheology and dynamics of solid Earth, and includes review questions with solutions so readers can monitor their understanding of the material presented. It is also a much-needed reference for geoscientists in many fields including geology, geophysics, geochemistry, materials science, mineralogy and ceramics.

Understanding Viscoelasticity Basics of Rheology


Free Download Understanding Viscoelasticity: Basics of Rheology by Nhan Phan-Thien
English | PDF | 2002 | 154 Pages | ISBN : 364207779X | 10.9 MB
This book presents an introduction to viscoelasticity; in particular, to the the ories of dilute polymer solutions and melts, and dilute suspensions of rigid particles in viscous and incompressible fluids. These theories are important, not just because they apply to practical problems of industrial interest, but because they form a solid theoretical base upon which mathematical tech niques can be built, from which more complex theories can be constructed, to better mimic material behaviour. The emphasis is not on the voluminous cur rent topical research, but on the necessary tools to understand viscoelasticity at a first year graduate level. 1 Viscoelasticity, or Continuum Mechanics, or Rheology (certainly not to be confused with Theology) is the science of deformation and flow. This def 2 3 inition of was due to Bingham, who, together with Scott-Blair and Reiner, helped form The Society of Rheology in 1929. Rheology has a distinguished history involving high-profile scientists. The idea that everything has a time scale, and that if we are prepared to wait long enough then everything will flow was known to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, and prior to him, to the 4 Prophetess Deborah – The Mountains Flowed Before The Lord. Not surpris ingly, the motto of the Society of Rheology is 1ravra pet (everything flows), a saying attributed to Heraclitus.

by Pedro E. D. Augusto; Meliza L. Rojas; Alberto C. Miano

English | 2023 | ISBN: 0367685698 | 151 pages | True PDF | 17.94 MB
Rheology is the study of material flow and deformation, defining different aspects of food processing and product design. Food rheology affects several unit operations during food processing, the behavior during shelf life, the consumer perception during consumption and the interaction of food products with the human body (from chewing and swallowing to digestion). Therefore, it is imperative for professionals involved in food science and engineering to understand and assess food rheology.
