Surface Phenomena in the Structural and Mechanical Behaviour of Solid PolymersAuthor(s): L. Volynskii, N. F. Bakeev\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9780367575045, 978-0367575045\nSynopsis\nSurface Phenomena in the Structural and Mechanical Behaviour of Solid Polymers explores the role of various surface phenomena in the structural and mechanical behaviour of amorphous and semicrystalline polymers. This book:\n\nDiscusses the development of the interfacial surface in the deformation of polymers\n\nExamines the healing of interfacial surfaces in polymers\n\nInspects the structure and properties of polymers in thin films and surface layers\n\nEvaluates the mechanism of inelastic deformation in glassy amorphous polymers\n\nInvestigates strain softening and the phenomena taking place upon deformation of polymers in active liquid media\n\nCovers the Rehbinder effect, or the adsorption reduction of the strength of solids\.
