Synopsis

Compact discs, cycle helmets and gas pipelines are all diverse applications of plastic materials, each involving a unique engineering analysis in the development of commercial products. This book highlights these examples. Its treatment of the science and engineering of plastic materials provides students, engineers and scientists with a foundation for the analysis and design of many other plastic products.

About this title

Review

... highly recommended to a wide range of undergraduate students as well as to managers and engineers in the manufacturing industry who want to widen their appreciation of what are largely 20th-century materials., The Times Higher Education Supplement,

From the Back Cover

Now in its Third Edition, Plastics is a valuable resource for studying the science and engineering of plastic materials. Starting from microstructure and physical properties, the book covers the mechanical, chemical and electrical properties of plastic materials, and also deals in detail with the wider plastics issues that today’s engineers and materials scientists face such as manufacturing processes and the design of plastic products.

The new edition has been updated to reflect changes in polymer technology and the plastics industry, and the increased knowledge of the mechanical properties of plastics.

· Expanded coverage of materials selection and shape selection
· New teaching case studies, plus new material on plastics for use in sport applications and biomaterials
· Examination questions to accompany each chapter, with online Instructor Solutions Manual|Now in its Third Edition, Plastics is a valuable resource for studying the science and engineering of plastic materials.
