Understanding the elastic properties of polymer melts is necessary for ensuring successful polymer processing and thus producing high-quality plastic parts. This unique book is the first to focus on this important topic. Starting with the molecular origin of elastic behavior and an explanation of the physical quantities involved, experimental methods and the dependence of elastic behavior on experimental parameters are then presented. Elastic properties of filled and unfilled systems are compared directly, and polymer blends are also considered. Elastic effects in various applications are included, such as in extrudate swell, internal stresses, and shrink films, to illustrate the importance of this field in the plastics processing industry.

About the Author

Helmut M�nstedt is retired professor and former Head of the Institute of Polymer Materials at Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. He is a leading expert in polymer science and rheology and made important contributions to relationships between structures and properties of polymeric materials. Under his guidance, developments in measurement techniques as the application of laser Doppler velocimetry to polymer melts and the M�nstedt tensile rheometer were carried out. He is the author of over 200 publications in scientific journals, covering various fields of polymers.
