At high molecular weights, the long molecules are heavily intertwined, leading to unique viscoelastic behavior due to chain entanglement. Under large deformation, entangled polymers show a rich variety of nonlinear rheological responses including strain localization. <p><i> Nonlinear Polymer Rheology</i> offers new, significant insights to students and research professionals. All aspects of nonlinear polymer rheology are described within one common framework. The author explains why yielding, i.e., the transition from elastic response to irreversible deformation (flow), always takes place when entangled polymeric liquids are subjected to a variety of different forms of large deformation. <p> Integrating latest research results and characterization techniques, <i>Nonlinear Polymer Rheology</i> helps readers understand and apply basic principles of nonlinear polymer rheology. The book connects the theoretical framework with practical polymer processing, aiding practicing scientists and engineers to go beyond existing knowledge and explore innovative applications.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b> SHI-QING WANG, PhD, </b> is Kumho Professor of Polymer Science at the University of Akron.
