In polymer processing, the molecular orientation induced by flow has a significant effect on the crystallization kinetics and final morphology of the polymer produced. The impact on processing operations and object properties is extremely important and recently scientific and technological researchers have begun to quanitify these effects. The international conference 'Flow-Induced Crystallization of Polymers', held in October 2001 in Salerno, Italy, was timely and well attended. An interdisciplinary approach was taken and presentations were made on topics ranging from real-time measurement, through modelling, to final morphology and properties of polymers. Invited and other selected contributions from the conference are collected here, in this volume of Macromolecular Symposia

Describing crystallization processes in polymer melt flows involves many effects. Objective of this work is to capture a selection in a simulation environment, for a certain material, starting from executing experiments on. This means aspects of experimental investigations, modeling and special numerical methods used to create a simulation environment will be highlighted. Because this involves many fields, works covering all aspects are rare1. It is intended to contribute such a work by the publication of this thesis.

In addition to structure formation in crystallizing polymers and semicrystalline polymers, this second edition completes the topic of transport phenomena. It also reviews solidification by crystallization during cooling and under flow or pressure, which all play an enormous role in polymer melt processing. Generally, there is an intensive interaction between three transport phenomena: heat transfer, momentum transfer (flow, rheology) and (flow induced) crystallization. The strong interaction between the three transport phenomena is a major challenge when it comes to experimentation, and advances in this area are detailed in the book, guiding further development of sound modeling. This book enables readers to follow an advanced course in polymer processing. It is a valuable resource for polymer chemists, applied physicists, rheologists, plastics engineers, mold makers and material scientists.

Polymeric crystals are more complex in nature than other materials' crystal structures due to significant structural disorder present. The only comprehensive reference on polymer crystallization, Handbook of Polymer Crystallization provides readers with a broad, in-depth guide on the subject, covering the numerous problems encountered during crystallization as well as solutions to resolve those problems to achieve the desired result. Edited by leading authorities in the field, topics explored include neat polymers, heterogeneous systems, polymer blends, polymer composites orientation induced crystallization, crystallization in nanocomposites, and crystallization in complex thermal processing conditions.
