An Overview of the Basic Rheological Behavior of Polymer Fluids with an Emphasis on Polymer Melts.

Wilkes, G. L.

Journal of Chemical Education, v58 n11 p880-92 Nov 1981

Following a rationale for focusing on this topic, a molecular and nonmathematical approach is used to explain the basics of the flow (rheological) behavior of polymer melts, emphasizing the behavior of melts compared to that of solutions. (JN)
