Understanding Rheology

Understanding Rheology is a main text for Jr./Sr./Grad (4th and 5th year) level courses taught in departments of chemical and mechanical engineering. The course is called rheology or polymar rheology. Rheology is the study of the deformation and flow of materials. The plastic flow solids, such as molten rock, and the physical properties of complex fluids such as polymers, colloids, foams, gels are among the chief concerns of rheology. In other words, the physics of mayonnaise. Food science is among the most industrially significant applications of rheology. The strengths of the Morrison book is its pedagogy and its price. The very few books on the market even appropriate for teaching an undergraduate cousre are much more expensive. The book contains problems and samples appropriate to an under graduate course.
