Description
American Chemical Society Polymer Crystallization The Development Of Crystalline In Thermoplastic Polymers by Jerome Schultz
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)
