Part of the book series: Mathematics in Industry ((TECMI,volume 2))

  • 524 Accesses

Abstract

Polymer researchis divided over such diverse fields as there are:

  • modelling of cristallization processes;

  • derivation of constitutive theories from molecular models;

  • modelling of industrial processes for the manufacture of polymeric (plastic) products.

Projects are supported by industrial companies: DOW Benelux, Terneuzen; DSM-Research, Gleen and AXXICON Moulds, Eindhoven; alll in the Netherlands.
