Flows in Polymers, Reinforced Polymers and Composites A Multi-Scale Approach /

This book gives a detailed and practical introduction to complex flows of polymers and reinforced polymers as well as the flow of simple fluids in complex microstructures. Over the last decades, an increasing number of functional and structural parts, made so far with metals, has been progressively...
