Structure of the Polymer Amorphous State by Kozlov, Gennady Zaikov Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book represents the most important and disputable problems of the polymer physics. It is devoted to the features of formation and control of the relative part of local order zones in non-crystalline domains of semicrystalline polymers and their connection to the structure of crystallites. Publisher Description The basic problem of polymer physics is obtaining ‘structure-properties’ correlations for their future application for practical purposes. However, these cannot be obtained without the development of a quantitative model of the polymer structure. This problem has been actively investigated during the last 45 years, which resulted in obtaining a great amount of experimental (mostly indirect) proofs of existence of the local order in the polymer amorphous state. Now, the time has come for creating a structural model of polymer basing based on the local order ideas. The cluster model, as presented in this monograph, of the polymer amorphous state structure represents the realization of such attempts. The development of this cluster model is based on well-known experimental observation: the behavior of glassy polymers in the area of stimulated high-elasticity plateau is described in the framework of rubber elasticity concepts. This gives an opportunity to present the local order (cluster) zone as a multifunctional entanglement of the physical network consisting of several collinear closely packed segments of different macromolecules (the amorphous analogue of crystallite with extended chains) and surrounded by a packless matrix. An independent method for assessing local order zone fraction in the structure has been elaborated. Segment length in the cluster equals the length of the chain statistical segment that gives a correlation between molecular and structural parameters of the polymer. Application of the cluster model allowed description and obtaining of analytical ‘structure-properties’ correlations for many processes proceeding in polymers: elasticity, yielding, degradation, transport, some thermodynamic processes, structural relaxation, plasticization, structural stabilization at thermo-oxidative degradation, etc. The relation between the cluster model and some modern physical concepts, for instance fractal analysis, fluctuation free volume kinetic Author Biography Kozlov, ; Zaikov, Gennady Details ISBN 0367446588 ISBN-13 9780367446581 Title Structure of the Polymer Amorphous State Author Kozlov, Gennady Zaikov Format Paperback Year 2019 Pages 484 Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd GE_Item_ID:130814011; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
