Write-up: The book, Filled Polymers: Science and Industrial Application, • Covers rheological as well as mechanical properties of filled polymer systems. • Discusses various types of fillers, including carbon black, mineral and short fibre. • Demonstrates commonalities among all filled polymers. • Offers a selection of calculation worksheets with numerical illustrations.
Summary Based on the author’s 30 years of research and engineering activities in the field of complex polymer systems, this volume is a comprehensive survey of the many aspects of rubber and thermoplastic filled polymers. It demonstrates their commonalities and the scientific background behind their many industrial applications and also analyses theoretical considerations which explain the origin of the singular properties of filled polymers. An appendix includes a selection of calculation worksheets with numerical illustrations to clarify the concepts. |
