Résumé
The "Engineering Materials" series provides topical information on innovative structural and functional materials with applications in mechanical, civil, and medical engineering. The individual volumes are complete and comprehensive monographs which usually treat the structure, properties, manufacturing, and applications of these materials. Besides materials scientists the series is intended for engineers in research and development.
This book gives an overview of recent advances in fracture mechanics of polymers (experimental and alternative methods), morphology-property correlations (homopolymers, copolymers, blends), hybrid methods of polymer testing and polymer diagnostics, technological test methods, biocompatible materials and medical prostheses as well as application examples and limits. The investigations of deformation and fracture behaviour with experimental methods of fracture mechanics have been subject to intense research during the last decade. In a systematic manner, each chapter of this book gives a review of the particular aspects. This book will be of great value to scientists, engineers and graduates in polymer materials science.
