Flow-induced Structure in PolymersExamines recent advances in understanding the structures of polymer melts, polymer solutions, block copolymers, liquid crystalline polymers, colloid suspensions, and multiphase systems subjected to flow. Reports on advances in instrumental techniques, characterization, theories, and applications. An overview chapter provides a guide and reference source to related reviews and identifies similarities in flow behavior between various materials science disciplines. |
