Viscoelastic Properties of Polymers

by John D. Ferry

Book Overview

Viscoelastic behavior reflects the combined viscous and elastic responses, under mechanical stress, of materials which are intermediate between liquids and solids in character. Polymers-the basic materials of the rubber and plastic industries and important to the textile, petroleum, automobile, paper, and pharmaceutical industries as well-exhibit viscoelasticity to a pronounced degree. Their viscoelastic properties determine the mechanical performance...
