Book description:

Tougher and cheaper than other materials, thermoplastic resins are used in applications ranging from aircraft frames to glass windows. This is the first authoritative source for building and evaluating new product lines. Written by a top team of international experts, this reference incorporates the chemical, mechanical, and physical data necessary to compare and evaluate existing product lines with new and emerging products.

The expert, detailed coverage needed to build and evaluate new product lines of thermoplastic resins

Written by teams of top international experts from companies such as GE Plastics, Mitsui Chemicals, Toray Resins, LG Chem, Chevron Phillips Chemical, and Solvay Advanced Polymers, this comprehensive guide provides a new insight to the products, properties, and processses of a new class of cyclic thermoplastic resins found in a wide array of applications.

A complete single-volume reference, the Handbook covers the essential chemical, physical, mechanical, and applications aspects of many of the most important thermoplastics, providing researchers with the data necessary to evaluate and compare existing product lines with new and emerging ones. Readers will also find a detailed approach for evaluating some of the most recent breakthroughs, such as:

  • Chemistry of Polymerization

  • Products and Designs Based on Viscoelasticity

  • Processes
