Featuring contributions from experts at some of the world's leading academic and industrial institutions, Advanced Polymeric Materials: Structure Property Relationships brings into book form a wealth of information previously available primarily only within computer programs. In a welcome narrative treatment, it provides comprehensive coverage of polymeric materials, including polymer composites as well as the more commonly addressed polymer blends. Along with discussion on a variety of applications, topics include general aggregate properties, design considerations, characterization and enhancement of physical and mechanical properties, processing and manufacturing, and components failure.

Product Description: There is a wealth of literature on modeling and simulation of polymer composite manufacturing processes. However, existing books neglect to provide a systematic explanation of how to formulate and apply science-based models in polymer composite manufacturing processes...read more

Product Description: The 30 invited and contributed papers describe techniques for determining the flow behaviour of non-Newtonian fluids and other designer materials, most of which behave in a very non-linear fashion, that engineers are increasingly be asked to design and manufacture products with.

Product Description: Describes methods of characterizing the very un-Newtonian and non- linear behaviour of most new materials used in manufacturing materials, and uses the results to describe their flow behaviour under applied stress. Addresses such fundamental issues as flow instabilities; and more...read more

Product Description: Proceedings of the November 1996 symposium. Contains 35 papers covering a wide range of issues including complex flows of yield stress and power-law fluids, bubble motions, slurries, motion of solid particles in viscoelastic fluids, foam motion in porous media, emulsions, surfactants, suspensions and more...read more

Product Description: This book is aimed at scientists and practicing engineers who are currently exploring or would like to explore the complexity of fabrication processes of polymer composites. It deals with the mechanics and modeling aspects of discontinuous and continuous fiber composites and familarizes the engineer with the critical and fundamental issues of material processing and transport phenomena in polymeric composites and their applications in modeling and simulating specific composite manufacturing processes...read more
