Fundamental chemorheological

Many chemorheological studies omit what we have termed fundamental chemorheological behaviour, by which we mean the basic tests that can assess the fundamental rheological... 

Overall these fundamental chemorheological tests will provide essential characterization of the typically complex reactive systems under investigation. As mentioned previously, to achieve full characterization we are next interested in chemoviscosity profiles. 

Although this book is intended to address the chemorheology and reactive processing of polymers, the chemical reactions in the melt phase (e.g. branching reactions, degradation) may affect the subsequent solid-state and performance properties of the polymer. Furthermore, the end product of the reactive processing is the solid polymer and the transformation process from the liquid to the solid state of a polymer is fundamental to the success of the processing operation. It is therefore important to examine the way the polymer achieves its solid-state properties, and one of the most important properties... 

The aim of this book is not to discuss each of these reactive modification techniques in detail, but rather to show how chemorheology can be a useful tool from fundamental understandings to understanding processing, process control and optimization.
