9780841236691: Polymer Crystallization: The Development of Crystalline in Thermoplastic Polymers

Synopsis

Summarizes current knowledge of how crystallinity develops in crystallizable polymers. Schultz (University of Delaware) reviews the structure and morphology of crystalline polymers, then examines the ways composition, temperature, and concurrent strain can modify the product. Kinetic theories of crystal nucleation, chain attachment to growing crystals, and the coupling of growth interface propagation and self-created fields are then treated. New applications in injection molding and synthetic fiber processing round out the volume. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review

A stimulating set of chapters which merit wide reading by anyone needing a thorough, up-to-date understanding of the dynamics of crystallization in polymers ... an excellent and comprehensive reference. The sense of purpose and remarkable penetration into relevant matters, comes as a great gust of good sense in our attempts to understand polymer crystallization. (Current Engineering Practice)
