Plastics - Microstructure ans Applications

From fundamentals to design applications, a key text for all students studying polymer properties. Now in its Third Edition, Plastics is a valuable resource for studying the science and engineering of plastic materials. Starting from microstructure and physical properties, the book covers the mechanical, chemical and electrical properties of plastic materials, and also deals in detail with the wider plastics issues that today's engineers and materials scientists face, manufacturing processes and the design of plastic products. The new edition has been updated to reflect changes in polymer technology and the plastics industry, and the increased knowledge of the mechanical properties of plastics.
