Plastics are part of everyday life and contribute immensely to the
benefit of humanity. When failures occur, they are due in part
either to inferior properties (resulting from poor design or badly
controlled processing), or to an incomplete understanding of the
properties and applications of plastics materials. Since
publication of the first edition, the plastics industry has increas
ingly adopted advanced business procedures and automation (such as
closed loop control and robotics), to combat the effects of
recession, and has moved increasingly towards methods based on
sound scientific and technological principles. Plastics have
increasingly been used in appli cations once dominated by the use
of metals and ceramics. For instance, in the automotive industry,
the modern car now contains a much higher proportion of polymers,
including commodity plastics and more spec ialized materials. In
addition, compact discs are being made from new injection-moulding
grades of polycarbonate, which meet the requirements of a demanding
process. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and
extended to include new materials, technologies and design
concepts. Chapters on thermoplastics reflect the development of
polymer blends and alloys, whilst the chapters devoted to
thermosets have been reorganized to accommodate the renaissance in
the applications of phenolics and to cover the growing importance
of polyurethanes. The related two component process technologies
are now included; having undergone major developments in the last
decade, they have become important shaping processes."
