| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
A concise review of the inherent properties of polymers, this volume explores a range of topics, including how their end-use properties can be influenced through changes in the molecular architecture or incorporation of various fillers and additives. The authors describe the mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal properties of polymers, providing theoretical derivations where necessary as well as explanations on molecular and structural features. To identify the principles involved, the book furnishes the bases of many standard test methods according to ASTM and BS 2782 specifications. It also includes a useful guide for identifying common plastics.
