Plastics Fundamentals, Properties, And Testing

Transcription

80601 cover 6/25/08 10:56 AM Page 1CPlastics Fundamentals, Properties,and TestingDerived from the fourth edition of the well-known Plastics Technology Handbook, Plastics Fundamentals,Properties, and Testing covers the behavior, characterization, and evaluation of polymers. With alucid approach and a wealth of valuable information, this book looks at the remarkable versatility ofthis nonmetallic class of materials.Examining polymers at the molecular level, the book first discusses their inherent properties and howtheir end-use properties can be influenced through changes in the molecular architecture or incorporationof various fillers and additives. The authors coherently present a wide spectrum of topics by sequentiallyintroducing structural aspects, properties, and applications. They then proceed to explore the mechanical,electrical, optical, and thermal properties of polymers, providing theoretical derivations where necessaryas well as explanations on molecular and structural features. To identify the principles involved, thebook also furnishes the bases of many standard test methods according to ASTM and BS 2782specifications.Features Covers the macromolecular aspects of polymer behavior, including conformation, amorphous andcrystalline states, thermal transitions, cross-linking, deterioration, stabilization, diffusion, permeability,toxicity,and biodegradability Discusses the functions of compounding agents, metal deactivators, light stabilizers, plasticizers,antistatic agents, flame retardants, smoke suppressants, colorants, and antimicrobials in plastics Presents mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal properties, including stress–strain behavior,dielectric strength, optical clarity, and thermal conductivityPlastics Fundamentals, Properties, and TestingMATERIALS SCIENCE Includes a useful guide for identifying common plastics80601an informa businessw w w. c r c p r e s s . c o mCompositeYCMMYCY CMYKPlasticsFundamentals,Properties,andTestingP l a s t i c sChanda Roy6000 Broken Sound Parkway, NWSuite 300, Boca Raton, FL 33487270 Madison AvenueNew York, NY 100162 Park Square, Milton ParkAbingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN, UKMwww.crcpress.comE n g i n e e r i n gS e r i e sManas ChandaSalil K.
