Performance of Plastics

Performance of Plastics is devoted to the subject of service performance of polymers and composites. The book introduces the reader to the basic properties of polymers and their behavior. It continues with the description of the various testing procedures and the information they convey, before it provides the reader with the latest on performance of polymers in service and its prediction. The last part of the book is dedicated to special polymer-based materials and their applications in important industries such as automotive, aircraft, aerospace, and electronic. Students, engineers, and researchers will find in the book good ways of interpreting experiments - which will enable them to get more out of their own results.
