Description
Description
Handbook of Polymers, Fourth Edition covers all primary polymeric materials used across the plastics industry, as well as specialty polymers in electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, aerospace, and biopolymers. This edition consolidates the most current data available from 2011–2027, sourced from scientific literature, patents, conference papers, and manufacturer information. The book includes data on all polymeric materials used by the plastics industry and branches of the chemical industry, as well as specialty polymers in the electronics, pharmaceutical, medical and space fields. The entire scope of the data is divided into sections to make data comparison and search easy, including synthesis, physical, mechanical, and rheological properties, chemical resistance, toxicity, environmental impact, and more.
