Polymer Interface and Adhesion

Poly mer Interface and Adhesion provides the critical basis for further advancement in thisfield. Combining the principles of interfacial science rheology stress analysis and fracturemechanics the book teaches a new approach to the analysis of long standing problemssuch as: how is the interface formed; what are its physical and mechanical properties;and how does the interface modify the stress field and fracture strength of the material. The book offers many outstanding features including extensive listings of pertinent referencesexhaustive tabulations of the interfacial properties of polymers critical reviews ofthe many conflicting theories and complete discussions of coupling agents adhesion promotionand surface modifications. Emphasis is placed on physical concepts and mechanismsusing clear understandable mathematics. Polymer Interface and Adhesion promotes a more thorough understanding of the physicalmechanical and adhesive properties of multiphase polymer systems. Polymer scientistsand engineers surface chemists materials scientists rheologists as well as chemical andmechanical engineers interested in the research development or industrial applications ofpolymers plastics fibers coatings adhesives and composites need this important newsource book.
