Summary:The rheology of polymer melts plays in important role today in industry and academia. Although several textbooks on this subject are available, with very few exceptions they cover homogeneous products only. This book is unique in it did focus on heterogeneous systems: such as particle-filled materials and polymer blends, which are highly important in the world market. It deals with similarities and differences of the flow properties of thesis two classes of material, providing both a fundamental and a practical understanding. Key points of the book are the viscous and elastic properties of engineering polymers filled with functional particles and the influence of nanoparticles on rheological properties. Two key aspects of rheological measurements are discussed: the influence of heterogeneous structures on the flow of materials important for processing and the use of rheological means to get to insight into morphological features. Both approaches are applied to particle-filled melts and to polymer blends.
