Synopsis

This book is unique in its focus on micromechanical processes of polymers and their role to improve the properties of polymeric materials. It combines the detailed knowledge of structure and morphology of polymers with the explanation and theoretical interpretation of micro- and nanoscopic processes and mechanisms in different polymers. Thus, it offers a better understanding of correlations between structure and property of nearly all polymers used in industrial applications. The knowledge of these correlations is a key for successful development of polymers with improved properties.

About the Author:

Prof. Dr. habil. Goerg H. Michler worked for many years as a physicist and materials scientist in research institutes, in the chemical industry and at universities. He is professor of general materials science at the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg and founded an Institute of Polymeric Materials. His research interests focus on the structure-property correlations of polymeric materials, the improvement of mechanical properties based on nanostructure and morphology.Prof. Dr. Francisco J. Balta-Calleja studied physics and spent many years as a visiting professor in various international institutes. He is professor of physics at the Institute for Structure of Matter, CSIC, Madrid, and founder of the Centre of Physics at CSIC in Madrid. His research interests focus on interrelating structure, processing, dynamic changes and properties of advanced polymers.
