Description:

Many technical books about plastics are too theoretical and difficult to read. This book offers something completely different. It is easy to read with many examples taken from everyday life. It is suitable for readers at secondary school and university levels and can be used for training activities in industry as well as for self-studies. Included are over 600 color images to illustrate the wide variety of plastics and process workflows used today. A bonus download of several working Excel tools is also provided to supplement the book content. With comprehensive coverage, this is probably the most versatile plastics handbook ever written!

New in the second edition are much-expanded content, a new chapter on extrusion, many new color figures, a new professional layout, and improvements throughout.
