Given the widespread use of polymers in medical devices, the
durability and reliability of this material in use is an area of
critical importance. Durability and reliability of medical polymers
reviews the performance of both bioresorbable and non-bioresorbable
medical polymers.
Plastics: Microstructure and Applications is a key text for senior students studying the science and engineering of plastics materials (or polymers) and will serve as a valuable introduction to the fundamentals of polymer properties for those new to the field. Starting from microstructure and physical properties, the book covers the mechanical, chemical, transport and electrical properties of plastics materials and also deals in detail with wider issues that today's engineers and materials scientists need, such as manufacturing processes and the design of plastics products. A thorough revision of the book for this 4th edition reflects advances in the field by including more detailed discussion of characterization techniques, crystallization and molecular structure, thermoplastic composites, 3D printing and electrical properties of plastics. The chapter on materials and shape selection covers sustainability, life cycle analysis and waste disposal considerations for plastics materials.
Improvements in materials technology have made a significant impact
on sporting performance in recent years. Advanced materials and
novel processing methods have enabled the development of new types
of equipment with enhanced properties, as well as improving the
overall design of sporting goods. The interdependence between
material technology and design, and its impact on many of the most
popular sports, is reviewed in this book.
In this innovative new book of poetry Mike Jenkins continues his life-long obsession with the history and fate of Wales, embodied, in this instance by both the glories of the landscape and the depredations suffered by the old industrial valleys in their years of decline. In contrast, his career in teaching left him with a sense of optimism about young people, about the prospect of change and with an eagerness to embrace changing times. These poems, like his prize-winning short stories, are full of colourful characters, dialogue, and incident. His sensitive awareness of the natural world, or what is available of the natural world in an urban context, is also frequently poingnant. Author of seven previous poetry collections for Seren he has also published a novel 'The Fugitive Three', published by (Cinnamon Press 2008) and a collection of short fiction 'Child of Dust' (Gomer). He has also published work for children, two novellas called 'Barbsmashive' and the latest 'The Climbing Tree' (both Pont) and a collection of poetry - 'Poems for Underage Thinkers' (pont).
