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 rhology is extensive."
- Current Engineering Practice -

This long awaited, revised and updated reference/text covers flow properties of thermoplastic and thermoset polymers, and general principles and applications of all phases of polymer rheology, with new chapters on the rheology of particulate and fiber composites.

The Second Edition includes new and expanded detail on reacting systems and flow through porous media as well as composite processing operations, including pultrusion and resin transfer molding!

Giving equal consideration to single and multiphase rehology, the Second Edition of Polymer and Composite Rheology

The Second Edition of Polymer and Composite Rheology is an impressive reference for polymer rheologists, techonolgists, and processors; polymer, chemical, plastics, civil, and mechanical engineers; polymer, ceramic, and materials scientists, and an exceptional text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
