Editorial Reviews
Review
. . ..The author is a leading scientist. . .who has worked extensively on the morphology and crystallization of polyethylene since the mid-1980s. . ..The 135-page chapter on characterization and testing is a book in itself, with good sense explanations of the underlying theory, test methodology, interpretation and precautions. Many clear diagramsaccompany the text. Other excellent chaptersdeal with the relationship between molecular orientation and its effect on rheological and thermomechanical properties.
