Editorial Reviews

The result of a decade of research conducted in the Group for Studies in Metallurgical Physics and Physics of Materials Laboratory of INSA of Lyon. Chapters topics include structural aspect of polymers, molecular mobility, non-elastic deformation, theoretical approach of non-elastic deformation, interpretation of mechanical experiments, physical aging, and glass transition. Each chapter concludes with a brief list of further reading on the topic. Pertains more to scientific experiments than exclusively pedagogic work. No index.
