Book Description

From Book News, Inc.

A consulting engineer who runs training and education programs in eastern Europe, the US, and elsewhere, Cheremisinoff offers a reference on the nature, manufacture, structure, properties, processing, and applications of commercially available polymers. He describes the physical properties and applications of the materials in terms of the theory, chemistry, and manufacturing constraints that apply to them, thereby allowing scientists to understand the commercial implications of their work, and providing a theoretical background to polymer technologists, engineers, and designers.

• Provides a comprehensive overview of commercially available polymers
• Offers a unique mix of theory and application
• Essential for both scientists and technologists

This reference book provides a comprehensive overview of the nature, manufacture, structure, properties, processing, and applications of commercially available polymers.

Book Info

Reference providing a complete overview of the nature, properties, processing, structure, manufacture, and applications of commercially available polymers. Features effective diagrams and illustrations throughout, as well as discussion of the commercial implications of work in polymer technologies.

From the Publisher

The main feature of the book is the range of topics from both theory and practice, which means that physical properties and applications of the materials concerned are described in terms of the theory, chemistry and manufacturing constraints which apply to them. It will therefore enable scientists to understand the commercial implications of their work as well as providing polymer technologists, engineers and designers with a theoretical background.
