Polymeric Materials: Structure, Properties, Applications / Edition 1

by Gottfried W. Ehrenstein

Overview

This book focuses on the relationships between the chemical structure and the related physical characteristics of plastics, which determine appropriate material selection, design, and processing of plastic parts. One of the special features is the extensive discussion and explanation of the interdependence between structure, properties, and processing. The book contains numerous application-oriented examples and is presented at an intermediate level for both practicing plastic engineers and advanced engineering students.

Editorial Reviews

Following a review of the market for polymeric materials (i.e., plastics), Ehrenstein (director, Institute of Polymer Technology, U. of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany), explains the correlations between polymer chemical structure, properties, and processing. With application-oriented examples, he covers the entire spectrum of plastics including thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, and blends. Charts summarize selected polymeric materials and guide values of the physical properties of plastics. Suitable for advanced engineering students and practicing plastics engineers. Annotation c.
