Thermal Analysis of Plastics: Principles and Practice

Thermal Analysis of Plastics provides information on important properties of plastic materials, such as nucleation, crystallization, degree of crystallinity, recrystallization, melting and solidification, glass transition, curing and postcuring, thermal stability, thermal expansion, relaxation of orientation and internal stresses, pvT-data, and others. Different test methods and their variations are described in detail, emphasizing the principles and their application in practice. Using practical examples, different approaches to problem solving are presented with a focus on the interpretation of experimental results. This just-released book is a must for everyone involved in material and product development, testing, processing, quality assurance, or failure analysis in industry and laboratories.
