About this book

The 3rd edition of this important dictionary offers more than 12,000 entries with expanded encyclopaedic-style definitions making this major reference work invaluable to practitioners, researchers and students working in the area of polymer science and technology. This new edition now includes entries on computer simulation and modeling, surface and interfacial properties and their characterization, functional and smart polymers. New and controlled architectures of polymers, especially dendrimers and controlled radical polymerization are also covered.

Abstract
The creep compliance is an exponentially decreasing function of time. It can be considered to consist of three components. Firstly, the unrelaxed compliance characterising the immediate elastic response and the limiting value of the overall creep compliance at short times, i.e. characteristic of the ‘glassy’ behaviour of the material. Typically this has a value of about 10−9 Pa−1. Secondly, the compliance component characterising viscous flow at very long times, typically having a value of about 10−5 Pa−1. Its limiting value is the equilibrium or relaxed compliance. Both these components are time independent. The characteristic viscoelastic behaviour at intermediate times provides the third component and is indicated by the compliance component for the retarded elastic response. In this transition region, this component dominates behaviour.

Abstract
Produced by electrochemical oxidative polymerisation similar to polypyrrole and, likewise, is electrically conducting as produced in the doped form. Also like polypyrrole, it undergoes a colour change on reduction from green to red.
