Plastics Microstructure and Applications

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 todays 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 ManualMills, Nigel is the author of 'Plastics Microstructure and Applications', published 2005 under ISBN 9780750651486 and ISBN 0750651482.
