Toughening of brittle polymers. 330 $aDemonstrating through examples, this book presents a mechanism-based perspective on the broad range of deformation and fracture response of solid polymers. It draws on the results of probing experiments and considers the similar mechanical responses of amorphous metals and inorganic compounds to develop advanced methodology for generating more precise forms of modelling. This, in turn, provides a better fundamental understanding of deformation and fracture phenomena in solid polymers. Such mechanism-based constitutive response forms have far-reaching application potential in the prediction of structural responses and in tailoring special microstructures for tough behaviour. Moreover, they can guide the development of computational codes for deformation processing of polymers at any level. Applications are wide-ranging, from large strain industrial deformation texturing to production of precision micro-fluidic devices, making this book of interest to both advanced graduate students and to practising professionals. 517 3 $aThe Physics of Deformation & Fracture of Polymers 606 $aPolymers$xFracture 606 $aPolymers$xPlastic properties 606 $aPlastics 615 0$aPolymers$xFracture. 615 0$aPolymers$xPlastic properties. 615 0$aPlastics. 676 $a620.1/920413 686 $aTEC021000$2bisacsh 700 $aArgon$b Ali S.$030766 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792070203321 996 $aThe physics of deformation and fracture of polymers$93775710 997 $aUNINA
