Summary: Indispensable reference
Comment: This is a good starting point for the reader interested in rheology or polymer dynamics. Many definitions and concepts widely used in the field of rheology of complex fluids can be found in this work. One of the introductory chapters is dedicated to qualitatively explain the most counter intuitive phenomena found in polymeric liquids. The rest of the book is primarily devoted to describe a variety of models, frequently illustrated with experimental data. The models are provided in a self-contained fashion, facilitating their use nad understanding.
Vol. I is a detailed introduction to rheology, with plenty of exercises. Explains in a clear way a variety of concepts such as material functions, and many classical models. Contains useful tables and appendices.
Vol. II also has good appendices and tables. It goes in detail through several microscopic models of polymers, starting from the simplest ones. Chapters are of increasing difficulty, getting more and more technical through the book, a good idea is to work the problems and exercises in detail. After this process is likely that the reader will be able to understand many polymer rheology papers.
