Vol 41, Pages 0 It is the reproduction of the old book published long back(1948) We try our level best to give you perfect book but some time, due to old books some imperfections like missing or damaged Pages left in the book. These are due to the original artefact or left at the time of scanning. We found this book important for current readers who want to know about our old treasure so we brought them back to the shelves for you. We hope you will encourage us by accepting them in this reformed condition. We do not change the contents of the book just make it more readable by removing its yellow background. A coloured Dust cover with glossy Lamination is wrapped on the book. Print on Demand

Viscoelastic behavior reflects the combined viscous and elastic responses, under mechanical stress, of materials which are intermediate between liquids and solids in character. Polymers the basic materials of the rubber and plastic industries and important to the textile, petroleum, automobile, paper, and pharmaceutical industries as well exhibit viscoelasticity to a pronounced degree. Their viscoelastic properties determine the mechanical performance of the final products of these industries, and also the success of processing methods at intermediate stages of production. Viscoelastic Properties of Polymers examines, in detail, the effects of the many variables on which the basic viscoelastic properties depend. These include temperature, pressure, and time; polymer chemical composition, molecular weight and weight distribution, branching and crystallinity; dilution with solvents or plasticizers; and mixture with other materials to form composite systems. With guidance by molecular theory, the dependence of viscoelastic properties on these variables can be simplified by introducing certain ancillary concepts such as the fractional free volume, the monomeric friction coefficient, and the spacing between entanglement loci, to provide a qualitative understanding and in many cases a quantitative prediction of how to achieve desired results. The phenomenological theory of viscoelasticity which permits interrelation of the results of different types of experiments is presented first, with many useful approximation procedures for calculations given. A wide variety of experimental methods is then described, with critical evaluation of their applicability to polymeric materials of different consistencies and in different regions of the time scale (or, for oscillating deformations, the frequency scale). A review of the present state of molecular theory follows, so that viscoelasticity can be related to the motions of flexible polymer molecules and their entanglements and network junctions. The dependence of viscoestic properties on temperature and pressure, and its descriptions using reduced variables, are discussed in detail. Several chapters are then devoted to the dependence of viscoelastic properties on chemical composition, molecular weight, presence of diluents, and other features, for several characteristic classes of polymer materials. Finally, a few examples are given to illustrate the many potential applications of these principles to practical problems in the processing and use of rubbers, plastics, and fibers, and in the control of vibration and noise. The third edition has been brought up to date to reflect the important developments, in a decade of exceptionally active research, which have led to a wider use of polymers, and a wider recognition of the importance and range of application of viscoelastic properties. Additional data have been incorporated, and the book s chapters on dilute solutions, theory of undiluted polymers, plateau and terminal zones, cross-linked polymers, and concentrated solutions have been extensively rewritten to take into account new theories and new experimental results. Technical managers and research workers in the wide range of industries in which polymers play an important role will find that the book provides basic information for practical applications, and graduate students in chemistry and engineering will find, in its illustrations with real data and real numbers, an accessible introduction to the principles of viscoelasticity.

At the young age of 19, Ferry received his Bachelor of Arts degree at in 1932. Three years later, he received his Doctor of Philosophy at Stanford and became a research assistant at Stanford"s Hopkins Marine Station.
Along with Williams and Landel, Ferry co-authored the work on time-temperature superposition in which the now famous WLF equation first appeared. The National Academy of Sciences called Ferry "a towering figure in polymer science". The University of Wisconsin said that he was "undoubtedly the most widely recognized research pioneer in the study of motional dynamics in macromolecular systems by viscoelastic techniques".
In 1937, Ferry was an instructor of biochemical sciences at Harvard University.
He was also a Junior Fellow of the Society of Fellows at Harvard. He became an Assistant Professor, the Department of Chemistry of the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1946 and made full professor the following year.
Ferry was chairman of the department of Chemistry at University of Wisconsin–Madison between 1959-1967. In 1973 Ferry was a Farrington Daniels Research Professor.
He was affiliated with the following organizations: National Academy of Sciences member Chairman of the Committee on Macromolecular Chemistry of the National Research Council President of the Society of Rheology.
Ferry received the following notable awards and distinctions: Eli Lilly Award in Biological Chemistry of the American Chemical Society Bingham Medal of the Society of Rheology Colloid Chemistry Award of the American Chemical Society High Polymer Physics Prize of the American Physical Society Colwyn Medal of the Institution of the Rubber Industry Witco Award in Polymer Chemistry of the American Chemical Society Technical Award of the International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers Charles Goodyear Medal of the Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society.
