Handbook of Polymer Crystallization

Polymeric crystals are more complex in nature than other materials’ crystal structures due to significant structural disorder present. The only comprehensive reference on polymer crystallization, <i>Handbook of Polymer Crystallization</i> provides readers with a broad, in-depth guide on the subject, covering the numerous problems encountered during crystallization as well as solutions to resolve those problems to achieve the desired result. Edited by leading authorities in the field, topics explored include neat polymers, heterogeneous systems, polymer blends, polymer composites orientation induced crystallization, crystallization in nanocomposites, and crystallization in complex thermal processing conditions.
