Crystallization Modalities in Polymer Melt Processing

Research output: BookMonograph

Abstract

The first book to explicitly focus on the processing of crystallizing polymers, it presents innovative research on diverse interfering processes to help clarify the subject. The first to address the unexpectedly strong interaction of three transport phenomena: heat transfer, momentum transfer (rheology) with crystallization kinetics.With many applications, most well-known crystalline structures are found in polymers like high and low denity polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene and their copolymers. Common problems such as anisotropic shrinkage, warping, and split fiber formation are covered.
