Description
Polymer usage is widespread with applications in many areas and its growth has been rapid in recent years. The aim of the Concise Encyclopedia of Polymer Processing & Applications is to cover the mainstream areas of application and their associated processing techniques. This is achieved by using a combination of new articles and ones drawn from the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Materials Science and Engineering, its supplements, and related Concise Encyclopedias. The emphasis is placed on the practical handling and production aspects of polymers, with a varied selection of topics examined including overviews on elastomers, fibers and textiles, composites and adhesive joining. Overall the book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of polymer processing and applications.
Reviews / Votes
Karel DusekThe Concise Encyclopedia of Polymer Processing and Applications can be recommended as a useful addition to libraries of institutions and individuals concerned with the processing, properties and applications of polymer materials.
Advanced Materials
J.R. Atkinson
...a book which can be read with enjoyment by all those interested in polymers, from the specialist searching for specific answers to the general engineer requiring an introduction to a particular topic... In short there is something for everyone involved with this important group of materials.... This encyclopedia is an attractive and valuable addition to the series on Advances in Materials Science and Engineering. The Editor and contributors are to be congratulated.
Corrosion Science
A major addition to any materials science library collection, this encyclopedia will prove of value to polymer and materials scientists in both academic and industrial sectors, engineers involved in the processing or use of polymers, and students of polymer science.
