This book offers a comprehensive introduction to polymer rheology
with a focus on the viscoelastic characterization of polymeric
materials. It contains various numerical algorithms for the
processing of viscoelastic data, from basic principles to
advanced examples which are hard to find in the existing
literature. The book takes a multidisciplinary approach to
the study of the viscoelasticity of polymers, and is
self-contained, including the essential mathematics, continuum
mechanics, polymer science and statistical mechanics needed to
understand the theories of polymer viscoelasticity. It
covers recent achievements in polymer rheology, such as
theoretical and experimental aspects of large amplitude
oscillatory shear (LAOS), and numerical methods for linear
viscoelasticity, as well as new insights into the interpretation
of experimental data.

Although the book is balanced between the theoretical and
experimental aspects of polymer rheology, the author’s particular
interest in the theoretical side will not remain hidden.
Aimed at readers familiar with the mathematics and physics of
engineering at an undergraduate level, the multidisciplinary
approach employed enables researchers with various scientific
backgrounds to expand their knowledge of polymer rheology in a
systematic way.
