Fundamentals of Reaction Injection Molding

Reaction injection molding (RIM) and reinforced reaction injection molding (RRIM) have matured to the point where a book on the process is greatly needed. The author, an internationally recognized RIM expert, has answered this need with a book that is technically strong, well written, informative and readable. One of the major attributes of this text is the integration of the practical aspects of the process with the engineering fundamentals. Equipment and process descriptions help the reader understand the physical operation. The author is also adept at explaining the theory of the process so that it will be understandable to everyone who is or will be involved with this new technique. The description of the chemistry is handled in a style accessible to professionals other than chemists. In addition to polyurethanes, other polymers such as polyamides, polyesters and epoxies, are covered in this book as well as filled RIM polymers. The book is the perfect information source and reference summary on RIM and RRIM.Macosko, Christopher W. is the author of 'Fundamentals of Reaction Injection Molding' with ISBN 9780195207590 and ISBN 0195207599.
