Request a sales quotePolymer Gears discusses polymer gear design and their efficient mechanical properties, light weight, and low noise during operation. As plastic gears are replacing metallic gears in traditional and new applications, there is still lack of material characterization and complex relations between different geometric and operating parameters. Thus, polymer gear design remains an open challenge. This book serves as a comprehensive and professional guide on the topic, providing readers with current developments carried out in the field of plastic gears production, characterization, and applications.
This will include material development, tribological properties, simulations, and processing methods.
- Current developments carried out in the field of plastic gear production

Miroslav Huskić
Dr. Huskić received his PhD in 1995 from the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology. He spent one year as a post-doc (1997/98) at the University of Hasselt in Belgium. Until the end of 2018, he was employed as a researcher at the National Institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana, Slovenia. In 2006 he founded and became the director of the company Nanosvet d.o.o., which was engaged in the development and marketing of nanocoatings. Since 2009 he has been lecturing at the Faculty of Polymer Technology in Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia. His research work mainly includes the synthesis of various polymers, preparation of composites and nanocomposites and characterization of polymeric materials. During the last 15 years, he has been engaged in the preparation of thermoplastic and thermosetting polymer composites and nanocomposites (by extrusion, in solvents, by in situ polymerization) and their characterization.
