Major Defects in Polymers

Defects in polymers are one of the main reasons that plastics have not yet replaced metals in potentially high-interest areas. Addressing an important but overlooked topic in polymer process troubleshooting, Major Defects in Polymers offers in-depth explanation of imperfections, methods to detect and minimize them, and troubleshooting case studies. By introducing ways to improve the polymer material when compounding or polymerizing, the author provides plastics industry professionals, polymer scientists, chemical engineers, and materials scientists with detailed insight and practical solutions for plastics producers.
