About The Book:

This book delves into the nature of relaxation phenomena in polymers, focusing on time-temperature equivalence and its significance in the physical and mechanical behavior of polymer materials. It offers an in-depth exploration of the fundamentals of thermoplastics processing, shedding light on the role of these phenomena in shaping polymer materials' properties and performance.

The book covers the following key areas:

• Time-Temperature Equivalence: The relationship between time and temperature in polymer relaxation, influencing material behavior.

• Physical and Mechanical Behavior: How relaxation phenomena impact the structural integrity and mechanical performance of polymers.

• Thermoplastics Processing: Discusses how the principles of relaxation are critical in the processing of thermoplastics.

Four appendices provide additional valuable insights, including:

1. Thermo-mechanical methods for studying relaxation in polymers.

2. Structure analysis of both amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers.

3. A unified approach to describing the deformation of polymeric materials.

This book serves as an essential resource for professionals and students in the field of polymer science, materials engineering, and related disciplines.
