Gupta, Rakesh K.
Accolades for the first edition. . . It is. . .a pleasure to read a book that is designed to lead the outsider into the subject. . ..a nice balance between physical models and mathematical abstraction. ---Journal of the American Chemical Society . . .recommended to readers ranging from students to application technologists. ---IEEE Journal . . .unique in that it covers several topics not considered in most books on polymer rheology. . .. The coverage of the vast literature in the field of rheology is extensive. ---Current Engineering Practice . . .an excellent textbook for graduate students. . .and a valuable book for polymer and composite material engineers. The book provides a comprehensive overview in fundamental principles of flow properties of polymers and composites, with especially clear explanations of rheology concepts and viscosity measurement techniques, and concise discussions of flow properties for a wide range of polymer and composite materials. ---Polymer News
