Polymer Melt Rheology and Flow Birefringence

The present monograph is intended as an introduction into a field which certainly did not receive proper attention in the past. It is one of the aims of this book to verify this suppo­ sition. The author hopes to show that the technique of the measurement of flow birefringence can fulfil an important com­ plementary task in polymer melt rheology. From this point it is expected that the present mon...
