Description: This book presents detailed studies of flows in elastic liquids, from theory, through experiment, to applications. Falling into the category of elastic liquids in particular, are the melts and concentrated solutions of such flexible-chain polymers as polyethylene, polyisobutylene and polypropylene, all of which are widely used in polymer processing. The reading material is presented with an emphasis on practical applications. Applications of results to industrial problems are also discussed.
