Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This third volume completes the first part of the project " Macromolecular Physics." The first volume dealt with the description of macromolecular crystals; the second volume dealt with crystal growth; and the third volume summarizes our knowledge of the melting of linear, flexible macromolecules. The discussion in the three volumes goes from reasonably well-established topics, such as the structure, morphology, and defects in crystals, to topics still in flux, such as crystal nucleation, detailed growth mechanisms, and annealing processes, to arrive at the present topics of equilibrium, nonequilibrium, and copolymer melting. Our knowledge is quite limited on many aspects of these latter topics.

Contraportada:

Provides an up-to-date summary and evaluation of theories, experiments, and extrapolations on equilibrium and irreversible melting of homopolymers, copolymers, and isomers.
The book presents the reader with a review of the following topics;
* characterization of matter
* mechanism of melting
* the differnce between small and large molecule melting.
* heats, entropies, volume changes, and heat capacity changes on fusion.
* molecular weight, pressure, deformation, and diluent effects on melting.
* experimental handling of irreversible melting.
* size effects, superheating, reorganization, recrystallization, and strain effects.
* surface and single-phase melting.
The discussion of equilbrium and nonequilibrium melting represents a review of the literature to the end of 1978. Researchers and graduate students in the polymer and materials fields will find this book useful as a basis for the development of further research.|Provides an up-to-date summary and evaluation of theories, experiments, and extrapolations on equilibrium and irreversible melting of homopolymers, copolymers, and isomers.
