Polymer Fracture

Polymer Fracture by Hans-Henning Kausch.

The first edition of this book had been written with the special aim to provide the necessary information for an understanding of the deformation and scission of chain molecules and its role in polymer fracture. In this field there had been an intense ac­ tivity in the sixties and early seventies. T...
