Thermoplastic Melt Rheology and Processing

• Fundamentals of polymer melt rheology; rheometers for polymer melt characterization; from melt flow index to rheogram; upgradation and extensions of the unification technique; rheological models for unified curves; MFI123 - a spreadsheet program for viscosity versus sheer rate curves from master rheograms; from master rheograms to processing parameters; MFI correlations with other parameters.

"This book offers an interesting, practical approach to the rheology and processing parameters of thermoplastic materials. . . This book is recommended for engineers and processors who may benefit from the use of the spreadsheet program to predict the behavior of thermoplastic materials as a function of processing parameters.
