Description and Table of Contents
Description
Polymer usage is widespread with applications in many areas and its growth has been rapid in recent years. The aim of the Concise Encyclopedia of Polymer Processing & Applications is to cover the mainstream areas of application and their associated processing techniques. This is achieved by using a combination of new articles and ones drawn from the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Materials Science and Engineering, its supplements, and related Concise Encyclopedias. The emphasis is placed on the practical handling and production aspects of polymers, with a varied selection of topics examined including overviews on elastomers, fibers and textiles, composites and adhesive joining. Overall the book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of polymer processing and applications.
