About this title

Synopsis:

Closing a gap in the literature, this is the first comprehensive handbook on this modern and important polymer topic. Edited by highly experienced and top scientists in the field, this ready reference covers all aspects, including material science, biopolymers, gels, phase separating systems, frontal polymerization and much more. The introductory chapter offers the perfect starting point for the non-expert.

From the Back Cover:

Nonlinear dynamics play an important role in phase separations and polymerization reactions For example, frontal polymerization is a process in which polymerization propagates through the reaction vessel. The result is a localized reaction zone that manifests itself as a thermal wave.
Edited by highly experienced and top scientists in the field, this first comprehensive handbook covers all aspects of the topic, including:
* What is Nonlinear Dynamics and how does it relate to Polymers?
* Non-Newtonian Rheology of Polymers
* Phase Separating Systems
* Gels Coupled to Oscillatory Reactions
* Instabilities Created by Interaction with Gels
* Oscillatory Systems Created with Polymer Membrane
* Instabilities in Inorganic Polymer Growth
* Biopolymers
With an introductory chapter offering the perfect starting point for the non-expert.
