Description:

Awarded the Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2001

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.
