Author Description
Rubber elasticity is an important sub-field of polymer science. This book is in many ways a sequel to the authors' previous, more introductory book, Rubberlike Elasticity: A Molecular Primer (Wiley-Interscience, 1988), and will in some respects replace the now classic book by L.R.G. Treloar, The Physics of Rubber Elasticity (Oxford, 1975). The present book has much in common with its predecessor, in particular its strong emphasis on molecular concepts and theories. Similarly, only equilibrium properties are covered in any detail. Though this book treats much of the same subject matter, it is a more comprehensive, more up-to-date, and somewhat more sophisticated treatment.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the molecular mechanisms and theoretical frameworks governing the equilibrium properties of rubberlike networks. Authors Burak Erman and James E. Mark utilize their extensive backgrounds in polymer physics to synthesize complex molecular concepts into a cohesive academic treatment. The book serves as a comprehensive update to foundational literature, focusing on the structural behavior of elastomers under equilibrium conditions.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Molecular theories of rubber elasticity
- Equilibrium property analysis of polymer networks
- Comparative evaluation of classical and modern network models
- Mathematical derivations of structural deformation
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts recognize this work as a sophisticated successor to foundational texts in the field of polymer science. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which is intended for advanced students and researchers requiring a rigorous understanding of elastomer physics.
