M. : Chemistry, 1985. - 240 s. : il. The book summarizes for the first time theoretical and experimental data on the relationship of the rheological properties of reaction systems in the processes of thermoplastic synthesis, conversion of oligomers and polymers with the macrokinetics of chemical reactions. Features of rheological transformations in radical and ionic polymerization of linear polycondensation are described , General principles of the approach to the analysis of reactions of isothermal and non-isothermal curing , Specificity of structure, Main classes of oligomers , gelatinization and polymer of similar transformations. Examples illustrating the possibility of using rheological methods to control the real technological processes of thermoplastics production and curing of thermosetting resins. The books are intended for specialists engaged in the production and processing of polymers. It can also be useful for students of relevant specialties. 240 s. 2 table , 114 rice.
