"Plastics - they are everywhere." The first sentence of this book
hints at the problem it seeks to address. The shear diversity of
plastics materials has led to their use in products as varied as
disposable packaging, life-saving medical devices, giant
wind-turbine blades and tiny electronic components. Their prices
and properties vary as widely, and they can be moulded, extruded,
blown, formed, and shaped in many other ways. Traditionally made
from petrochemicals, designers can now also choose from a range of
natural materials. Performance will depend on chemical
constitution, but also on the selection of processing aids and
property modifiers which can be added to the basic material. For
years, people have asked for a simple book to help them understand
this complex subject. This is that book Managers, sales personnel,
industry newcomers, designers and end-users are all confronted with
a bewildering range of technology and terminology by their
colleagues, customers and suppliers. The Instant Expert: Plastics,
Processing and Properties provides clear descriptions of the wide
range of plastic materials, and explanations of the basic shaping
and finishing processes. The author also talks about materials
properties and testing, and provides some simple examples of why
particular plastics are used in common or more challenging
applications. Common abbreviations are explained. Readable from
cover-to-cover, or easily referred to when questions arise, this
book will be indispensible.
